Easy - have it shorted out, fix an inline switch if you don't wish to leave it running during sessions and remove the eyesore - blanking plugs are available in different sizes I think..
P.S. I reckon better looking switches are available too..

I already have a proper blanking cap for the job. The on/off switch will be on the outboard PSU.
Those feet have springs inside to adjust stiffness/level from above with allen key, i won't be needing them being on a wall shelf with adjustable spike shelf & certainly don't want any spring with a unipivot arm.Secondly that Glass platters gonna be gone for an acrylic one, i don't like glass nor the weight associated with it.
Logic are probably my fave deck from back then, i had chance of a 'DM101', although they are great the actual MDF plinth was rough as a dogs arse IMHO it was also electrnic version thats is a no no in my books. I also had chance of a 2 motor 'Gemini' but had a chunk out of the plinth, never like that tufnol type platter that later went on the 'C1'..So it was enevitably gonna be the 'Tempo' btw these arnt cheap the surrounds are solid Ash hardwood sprayed black, no veneer. They were total quality for a small outlay.
