Turntable leveler feet?

Hi all,

Seems to me that there's an awful lot of us trying to level our turntables with playing cards, old CD's, jewel boxes, floppy disks, hunks of cardboard, cedar shims, and a wealth of other unsightlies.

I'm envisioning some sort of finely threaded disc set that would be about the diameter of standard turntable feet - say, 2.5 to 3 inches in diameter, that a person could set under the feet and adjust height and level by spinning in and out.

Does anyone make such a beast?

Man, that would be too easy and it wouldn't look nearly ghetto enough!

Funny, I was thinking of this very thing last night while leveling my Systemdek with two coasters. At least the coasters were matching. I was thinking of trying to find some nice cork coasters, but I like your solution better..let us know when you get the patent!
 
Something like this?

Maybe something along the lines of chair feet? There must be some that are adjustable as you say.
Just thinking out loud. Lowes HD etc.

I've used rubber washers with success. Also gives some extra damping of resonance.
 
Audio technica made some leveling feet many years ago. They are nice but hard to find now.
 
These are the A/T's I got them on Grumpys recommendation, Work great. :thmbsp:

The Marantz 6300 has stock adjustable feet similar to these. I purchased these but have no idea what brand they are but they're better than anything that came stock on my turntables.

The feet on my purple Numark are adustable. In order to take it apart the feet have to be screwed out and then there are screws under them that hold the turntable together as well as holding the metal sleeves that the feet screw into in place.

A SOURCE for said feet (if you have one) would be most helpful (I want some). Thanks!!:D

I really don't know what brand of turntable feet these are or what turntable they might have been removed from. I was hoping someone here would recognize them.

Oh well. Just thought it was worth an ask.:D When replacing missing feet on some 'tables, it's sometimes nice to go for more of an OEM look (like those), rather than some of the more esoteric looking aftermarket alternatives...
