ARXA plinth plans

[tinkerwalsh]

Hey folks,

Just wondering if anyone has the dimensions for the ARXA plinth?

I have a AR77XB that Id like to swap into a nicer base. Thinking I might as well build a base.

All the best,

Dave

Mine measures 12" x 16".

 

[marcmorin]

the inside dimensions are critical. 11 5/8" X 15 5/8"

 

[AvFan]

the inside dimensions are critical. 11 5/8" X 15 5/8"

And the sides/backs are 1/2" thick so the original dust cover will fit.

Listen to Marc and AV fan. This is what they did for me.

My metal plinth part measures exactly 12" x 16", so I do not understand your comment.

The OP is asking what the plinth measures, not what the base measures.

This has nothing to do with what the OP is asking for, unless he does not understand what a plinth is.

I assuming he does, but we all know what happens when we ass-u-me. Just wanted to give him an idea of what could be done if he had the skills. I don’t, so that’s why Marc and AVfan did it for me. Always enjoy your posts.

the top plate on the XB77 sits on the wood base. if the inside dimensions of the base were to be 12 x 16, the top plate won't sit on it. if smaller inside dimensions than given, great difficulty in attaching the top plate to the hold-downs will occur.

I never tire of looking at the pics of that beauty...
If my XB's dust cover wasn't in such good shape I'd want one just like yours. If I may ask, where did you get the AR logo done?

Got on EBay from a seller I believe named Jnbaudio, but could be wrong. Anyway, this seller is still there and does all kinds of dust covers.

I know JnB does the covers but they added the AR Inc. logo too?

Here's my marcmorin/AvFan masterpiece collaboration.

Yes. They asked me if I wanted it added when I placed my order. I did tell them I needed to make sure the height was high enough to clear my cuing lever. During the conversation, they asked about the logo, and offered it for a small extra fee. Worth every penny IMHO.

Yes it does. You set me up with a great cartridge. AK member Gordonw has also now had a chance to do a tune up on the table and he was very impressed. Gordon is a masterat table set up and building tube amps and such. I have my tables tuned up once a year. 50-75 dollars very well spent.
