    Will this method be applicable for the stock top plate Andy ? I had to wait quite a while for my bearing clamp IIRC .

    Filling the top plate with resin isn't just about adding stiffness and mass, it's about increasing contact area between the top plate and plinth. The relationship between top plate and plinth should not be underestimated.

    Ralph, I've already talked about increasing surface area, that's mainly why I'm doing this mod. I was going to try and decouple various bits but be decided to go down the rigidity/mass/coupling route instead. The plinth is the next area of xperimentation, kitty litter ahoy!

    Yes and no. You will have to dismantle the speed selector, protect the area, pour the resin and then reinstate the arm linkages, top plate screws and other gubbins when the resin is set. You will have to get rid of your mounting springs and make new mounting threads. All simple stuff but a PITA, you might want to look out for a cheapo knackered 75 and start experimenting, I think pouring resin into your lovely lenco might just be a step too far away from its originality.

    Kitty litter, it's betonite clay and it's what a lot of the high end plinth makers use because it's got excellent dampening characteristics. Some garrard plinths costs £1000s use this material. I'm experimenting with the resin first and then will start maybe messing around Feb/March 2017 with new plinths for the 301 and the lenco 75.

    Mmm... Yes I wondered about this and I think you're right Andy . I may have to get another GL75 in the new year to play with . The stock one which I have at the moment is just too good to mess around with .

    I'm still debating wether or not to go a step further and use dampening paint on the marine resin as another level of resonance control.
