its my dream to make a plinth for something like that, a YP-211 or an SP10. I mean where the wood is the body itself (no metal frame platter) that would be a challenge on how to put the motor inside a solid wood. No problem with the tonearm not much moving parts, i'll just carve the base that's...

thanks :)

Thorens TD124

my second favorite, a Thorens TD124 with SME 3009, on my custom-made solid wood plinth

its easy actually, especially there where woodworkers have complete tools. just look for a nice woodgrain. you'd be surprised how easy it is. all it needs is TLC and tools :)

Thanks :)

thanks Promitheas :)

yup. difficult to find big chunk of old wood like that. sometimes, when strong typhoon hits our tropical forest. may trees were downed. but drying takes time. my quest for perfect wood continues

Thanks Dave. that is one fine wood but difficult to find. im still in search for another one :)

Thanks turntable addict :)

my TD124 with sme 3009, playing one of my favorite classic

my apologies too . . . sorry :(

Thanks :)

Thanks. will check on it :)

please do. you'll enjoy it. the solid wood would take a little more time. why not try with the wrap-around plinth first? but i wont cut the old table yet, there are many scrap to practice the wood joint, curves, actual fitting :) here's some box type. the turntable were just placed on top. plug...

thanks. i love wood . . . and music :)

my favorite is the Garrard 301. I like the stereo sound using Shure V15 type III cart on an SME3009. I have to put a mono cart at the back to use the extra space and it sounds really good. I did the plinth myself and am happy with the result. its a weekend hobby. it runs on a marantz 2325...

My favorite: Garrard 301 Grease-bearing with Two SME3009 tonearms. One is with a Shure V15 type III and the other is with Audio Technica Mono Cart. I made the plinth myself. its a weekend hobby. that piece was about to become a firewood. i had a glimpse of it while driving in the countryside and...

i wanted to but it depends on availability of wood. i will also check how to ship and if no problem with quarantine in your country. i'm from The Philippines. Will get back to you :)

I also find MDF veneer coated receiver cases beautiful but they are too perfect for me. By using real natural wood, you can even smell it. Some even have their own stories, where they were found. how many years (depending on the wood grains and lines) and most specially, you can feel it. the...

ha ha, i think so too. I use Acacia, Narra and other heat resistant wood. depending on the availability of wood. I just make sure they are thoroughly time-dried. it is illegal to cut trees so i just wait for trees downed by typhoon or naturally disposed

Thanks, im waiting for the Lenco 88 and will try to have an apple to apple test :)

Thanks. We need to beautify these classic Marantz :) Stand as for speakers to match :)
