Field notes
The page identifies a 1979 Technics SL-Q3 and says the model was built part by part from its service manual, with details such as dust, platter marks, and worn lettering. It describes integration with Spotify and Apple Music, including track-specific record bands and arm movement when songs change. The room's lighting follows the Mac clock, while São Paulo weather controls the window's rain. The listed license covers two Macs.
