Fellow B-12H owners - I have a question for y'all. I really like the look of the box plinth that came with mine, but it really would profit from some mass strategically added inside.

The glory and bane of these tables is the monster Ashland motor and one of the issues I see with these motors is that even when running well they do tend to get a bit warm and need some breathing room. In building a plinth for one just how much space should one leave around and below the motor to keep them from cooking themselves? Any tricks to help airflow around the motor to help with cooling?
Also - one can slightly hear the sound of the motor running in between tracks and in really quiet passages of classical LPs. Any good way to dampen that at all, or does it just go with the territory and live with it?
Still my favourite of all of the tables I own I must say.
why not use a small usb fan or plug in fan, small for electronics. I used one to cool off a table I had.Worked well.
