    Decals for Plinth Rebuild

    The "wood" tape on my Pioneer PL-550 is beginning to peel on a corner so I thought I would build a new plinth but I would still like to have the original labels. Does anyone make these?

    Dual 1224 Plinth

    I recently got a working unit of Dual 1224 minus the plinth. I ask someone who usually handle and may reproduce the plinth of lenco, garrard, etc. to do the wood work but the guy need the actual measurement. Does anyone able to provide the pattern drawing + measurement? Thank you in advance.

    Help with PL-112D speed?

    Hey, new here and relatively new to vinyl and related gear (maybe only 2-3 years in at this point) and just picked up a PL-112D. I've been following guides to fix it up, and after doing seemingly all I can, it's still spinning slow (checked via phone app as well as spectroscope disc). I believe...

    Music Hall style dual plinth question

    I'm finally getting around to building my own plinth, and like the idea of a dual or even triple plinth a la Music Hall. I read that their plinths are separated by sorbothane hemispheres, but what I can't find out is how they are fixed in place. Surely they can't just rest on the sorbothane, so...

    Does Plinth Material Matter?

    Hey, I am ALMOST in the market for somewhat of an upgrade to my Numark turntable, even though that one is still like new and has no issues. I have been doing a lot of research and might have honed in on a belt driven table that has a specialized speed motor and a wooden plinth. What I...

    A few months ago I posted about me finding a couple SP-25's in an old radio station that my father had purchased. I traded one of them to hoodie for a Rega RB-330 that I equipped with an Ortofon 2M Red. For months I had it mounted in the section of particle board countertop I found it in. With...

    Where to get a Plinth Template for a Dual 721 TT

    Just bought a Dual 721 TT today for pretty cheap. Think I did well on it. From what I'm reading in various places, it's a pretty good TT. I've never owned a Dual before. I'll be interested to give it a try out next to my Denon DP-59L when I get my new system up and running. I see that the 721...

    Thorens TD-145 MKII plinth resto question

    Hi Gang! I just became the proud owner of a Thorens TD-145 MKII - a fine turntable, but a previous owner thought it would be a good idea to engrave his DL# into the plinth (and on the side, not the back Ugh!) This is the one with the brushed aluminum plinth (at least, I think that is what is...

    New plinth for Garrard 301

    I bought some rough red oak planks last year to make a plinth for a new-to-me Garrard 301. I stored the lumber and let it dry until I was ready to make it. With an upcoming move in my near future, I had the 301 safely packed up and stored away. As luck would have it another 301 with original...
