Added 2019-11-02 11:17:47 +0000 UTCWell it was worth giving it a go...
A shorter video this week - however it does include a ‘comedy’ outro section.
In other news - I think I’m finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel on the video I’ve been working at (on and off) for a few weeks. If I manage to finish that this weekend - it will be out next week.
I've also been saving up interesting (and no so interesting) tidbits to include in a patreon exclusive video that I plan to shoot later in the week.
UPDATE: Corrected version now above (info about the Amps drawn by the turntable - thanks to Holger)
UPDATE 2: I underestimated the importance of mentioning I was already using an alternative 60hz system that worked fine - (shown at 02:20) and the purpose of this video was to try a simpler all-in-one battery powered alternative.
Also there’s been a bit of doubt about whether the buzz was really a side effect of the modified sine wave conversion - so felt I needed to include a pure sine comparison.
To fix these omissions I've spent the evening digging in the attic for my other 60hz system that uses a Pure Sine Wave converter (and as a result doesn't buzz).
I've now shot and edited in a (very quick) comparison - and also managed to get the video to 09:59 now - which was my original intention. Hopefully this slight re-edit will help to mitigate the (inevitable) friction when it debuts on YouTube.
Comments
I definitely would have been wiser to skip this video. I’ll do an update in the next Patreon only video.

2019-11-05 09:45:24 +0000 UTCUnfortunately they don't sell the 40V system at all in the UK - so no batteries and no charger. Those would have to be imported in some way from the US, and the batteries would have to be charged via a US 120v charger run through a step down power transformer - Not something I'd be willing to do for a prolonged period. It would also cost a good few hundred pounds - the set-up I show in this video cost me £200 in the end. I feel I'm much better off just sticking with the existing system I've been using for the last couple of years that works well and isn't costing me anything.

2019-11-03 23:16:37 +0000 UTCThe 40V system from Ryobi uses Pure Sine Wave and 120v at 2.5 amp so 300W. I think it would work for what you want and the Powersource is only $100 so not much more expensive than the one you got now. Just need the 40V battery. Some of those 40V battery last for ages as well, comes in 2 ,4 and 5 Amp Hour. We use them at my house and love them.
