TD-124 vs TD-124 MkII - any dimensional differences?

[Lapslah]

I'm building a plinth for a friend who recently acquired a Thorens TD-124 MkII. I have an original TD-124. I'm aware of differences in platter, color, motor, but I've been building this plinth using the assumption that the dimensions of the two tables are identical. I'd hate to deliver the finished plinth only to discover that the table won't fit. Can anyone confirm that all dimensions are the same, or tell me what, if anything, needs to be adjusted to fit the MkII?

They are identical in size. And mount the same.

Thanks, bob!

The MKI and MKII used exactly the same chassis.

Thanks, hifi_nut. But there's more than the chassis to consider. Being a stacked plywood plinth (I see now that I didn't specify that in the OP), I need to account for all of the mechanical bits underneath as well. For example, if the different motor was sized or shaped differently, I would need to change my cutout for clearance.

There both identical. No difference what so ever.
