Older ones are made of wood, often particle board, while more modern ones are made of plastic. The parts inside are metal. The "needle" is made with sapphire or diamond as its tip. There is usually a synchronous AC motor, though a DC motor with a speed governor can be used, and it turns the platter, often by the shaft turning against the inside of the platter, though direct drive or belts could be used.

One common mechanism they have returns the tone arm to its holder, though that feature often goes bad and may stall the motor when the tone arm reaches the center.

Typically diamond. But any hard, rigid material will do (other precious gems, bone and ivory, various metals have been used).
