Oh, OK - I stand corrected.
Perhaps the G99 platter is a little lighter then? It has machining for strobe markings but I don't think that would remove a pound in weight, especially as it's slightly offset by the fact that the balancing holes are filled in the G99.

Ok thanks.
Was wondering if 1 platter and a copper mat might get a similar effect?
You don't have to use 2 x lenco platters Stu. There have been many projects that have utalised platters off diferent decks, acrylic, glass and the like and various different mats.
What we are trying to achieve is mass. Someone even tried 3 x lenco platters... It did look a bit tall but it was an experiment.
I don't know how heavy the copper mat is but it may be worth trying?
If you have another turntable platter availiable just lay it on top of the Lenco one and have a listen. I tried with my LP12 platter that's how I initially knew it was the path I wanted to take.
I chose to use 2 x Lenco platters just for convenience and the fact I got one off fleabay for £9.99.

I've never owned a set of bathroom scales - maybe that's why I'm a fat bastard?!

Dave's right, you can use anything - I think I read on LH that someone makes the kind of heavy mat you've suggested above as an alternative to a 2nd platter, or for those who don't like the idea of an overly tall platter.
I've currently got my standard Lenco mat sitting in between my 2 platters, the spindle extension gives you quite a bit of extra height to experiment with.
