Will I be able to assemble my Gyrodec?

[TheUpsetter]

Good day everyone,

I realize this is a pretty open ended question. Firstly, I've got enough technical and spatial ability...never met an Ikea piece I couldn't put together, etc. But then again, nothing Ikea makes is as expensive and precision tuned as the Gyrodec! I'm receiving my Gyro in a few days and it looks like I'm going to be putting it together, mounting the tonearm (tecnoarm) and cartridge (dynavector 10x5).

My current level of turntable proficiency is installing a new cart on my current deck, and even I'm not sure I did "perfectly". I'm hoping that others can share anything before I go ahead and built it. For starters, how long will it take me? Any "gotchas"? Tips? Pointers? etc

Thanks!

About two hours. Ensure to be home alone, sell pets and children.
Be well-rested. Work methodically. Take a break when needed.

Whatever you put the Gyro on, make sure it is sturdy so it won't
bow/warp under the Gyro's weight, stable, does not wobble at all,
and utterly and completely level.

Build the Gyro layer by layer, and check that they are all ... level.

Thanks, Werner's pictorial looks like a great resource so far...

You will enjoy every minute constructing your Gyrodec, that if your anything like me the slightest bit of dust your`ll want to be stripping down and cleaning it

Enjoy!!!!
