[Squire]

Well, that was amusing!  I made a Rochelle salt element for the tilt cartridge and wired it up to a little amplifier.  Just holding the cartridge by the wires and touching the needle to a record produced some sound!  It left a lot to be desired but I really had it Frankensteined together.  I could see if I can improve things but the attempt was mostly to see if I could grow my own crystal and get sound out of it and I've done that! Time for a more sensible approach.
