Footprint Michell Gyro SE

[kerkm1]

What is the footprint of a Michell Gyro Se? I want to place it on the
pro-ject Wallmount it I already got (Surface area (W x D): 460 x 355mm) and I wonder if it will fit.

hey, I just measured it and it doesn't look like it'll fit.

The depth is a hair over 400mm and the width is 490mm. If you let the tonearm 'mickey mouse ear' float out in space (it doesn't need support) then you can get the width down to 400mm.

thanks snoober, looks like i'll have to do some DIY.

Since you're wall mounting you could always go this route too. I have a very shaky floor but since I've wall mounted I don't have to move around like I was walking on rice paper.

Oh, nice! Did you make the wood slab yourself?

I bought mine through Mapleshade. I had it finished in a Rosewood stain which is really nice! They also have them unfinished.

Here is another possibility. I also have a slab from this guy too. He does very nice work and he is faster and less expensive.

Awesome! Thanks!

Very Nice! A natural finish slab of maple would agree with the rest interior.
A had my bassguitar build by a local luthier, it has a maple neck. Could very well be that he has some leftover that can be used for this purpose......

Yeah, maple looks really nice...
