Sure!! And how about a DIFM forum? Do It For Me :D
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

I think both.

Tweaks seem more like adding isolator feet, record clamps, various mods, record cleaning tips, etc.

DIY is more rolling your own interconnects, speakers, amps, etc.

Although I concede that there are areas of overlap like recapping or swapping op amps and tubes.

I'd be into talking about DIY speaker kits  like this one:
