My latest turntable build

That's indeed a spectacular piece of gear.
I'm envious.
Does seem as a wee bit incongruous though playing a 25 Cent (local thrift shop pricings) 45 'single'

Ahem, I'll have you know that's an original Nina Simone classic
Reason for the single is its.....great

if you mean sit on the three rosewood legs set into the main plinth then that's probably not going to work as the legs are cut at about 45 degrees. Unless I centre drill them to take a spike, but that's a leap of faith I'm not sure I want to take.

The inbuilt compliance of the rubber feet will take care of that.
Dont think in terms of "I need to put spikes projecting upwards from the rosewood feet"...all you need is rubber footed spikes projecting downwards from the "Michell Unicover platter based datum point" to the rosewood 3 external feet.
The value on the Y axis will be the same for all three rosewood legs. (Assuming the cut angle is the same?)
No matter the angle of dangle, rubber coated feet will look for the smallest contact point.

Think of it in terms of looking in plan view, with the 3 rubber footed legs pressing downwards.

Question is...the Unicover is a great solution, but do you want to tweak it?
Do you kbnow someone that can shape perspex?
Assuming given the great work you've done already your very familiar with "pride of ownership"?

For a one off solution I would!

Rather than risk the legs slipping on the slippery waxed rosewood slope I could sit the legs on the flat surface of the plinth around the turntable chassis. All I'll need is a flat piece of acrylic and the legs.
