Most of the standard variations are illustrated in the rest of the blog, but if you have any nice pics, or have modified a Source, or have a rosewood or gold deck, email me a photo to odysseytonearms at gmail dot com. If I find any pics on the web, I'll post them on the assumption that fans of the deck would approve of their pics being posted. (If I post a pic of yours and you wish it removed, just email me.)


1. So, to get started:  my version of the Source using platter, sub-platter, bearing, and motor. Built 2009.

It had a plywood sub-chassis, oak and ply plinth, and an Odyssey Gold Signature that I had made up from old  parts which had been rejected due to surface blemishes.


2. Karl modified a Source:

Before.....












and after.... with plywood laminate plinth and strobe built into the underside of the platter:

13. A Nice MRM Source fitted with Zeta tonearm and with 3D Power supply. Note the LED on the front of the deck. This was omitted in later Source-Odyssey models, and the PSU was changed:
