I did not know that. Hope Marco recovers real soon.
Anyone who thinks CDs sound better needs to listen to my system. Besides, my cables sound better than yours.

Nope. I have not moved on. I've had my 2 1200's since 1986. The best looking TT's ever made were the Technics DD TT's.
I'd put the Denons Yamahas and the JVC's right up there as well.

Thanks for letting me know. Now I know I have my work cut out for me.As someone who has carried out this mod using a heat gun made no appreciable difference,the type of adhesive use seems to be reluctant possibly for obvious reasons. Just good old hard graft gets it off. Helps if you have an old bearing to spin the platter on to keep an eye on the balance. I finished mine topside with a fitted copper top,handy to have the longer 'Mike New' bearing so you still have enough spindle projection

OK I removed the rubber mat from the underside using nothing but a heat gun and a knife. It took me about a couple of hours to do this.
I started with the heat at 450 degrees F moving up as high as 1000 degrees f on the rubber. The rubber is removed. Next step is to remove the glue from the platter, then make a template of the platter underside for fitting.
Once the fitting of the template, I will make the dynamat out of the template. I am looking at next weekend to do this.
Man the platter really rings like a bell with the rubber off. It would have been great if technics paid more attention to the platter and the rubber underside.
