This revision: the brush module is gone — records are brushed by hand before they go into the carousel, which saves a servo, a bracket and a step. X and Y run on 2040 V-slot with Delrin wheels instead of linear rails; only the Z column keeps a rail. The deck is the Omnitronic DD 3120 with its layout measured from a photo: the cue lever sits at the front-right of the arm base, so its servo lives on the frame’s end panel with a short pusher, and the end-stop pin hangs off a bar from the same bracket. An automatic turntable was considered and rejected: it cannot handle locked grooves, inside-out records or non-standard start and end positions, which is exactly why both cameras stay.
