Looks fine to me Mike. It's very important for the turntable to be level in all planes. All of my TTs have built-in bubble levels.

Barry I have other bubble levels I also use. Just wondered what I could put in the hole rather than the 45 adapter. Still not 100% yet though:scratch:

I have one too, but I have it floating around, not permanently attached

Update to the cheap mod. It has now cost me £33 as I saw this Oyaide record weight yesterday. Looks miles better in my opinion and sits in the hole perfect. Spirt level, record weight, and 45 adapter all in one.

Like it Mick, Those little subtle touches make all the difference in my opinion and one of the reasons why I love a cool looking record weight, certain feet and even the look of certain carts :)

Don't think I will ever sell my 1210. Sounds good looks good and an endless supply of parts and mods. I feel no need to buy anything else at the moment. Also you mean certain carts as long as its an Ortofon 2m Black:lol::lol:

:lol: Now I did love the look of the 2MBlack on my techie and thought the Quintet Black would look ok but it actually looks great too so happy days.
Now you know I'm gonna say that I bet the Cadenza B will look absolutely fab when that day comes :D

Btw - Like you my Techie is going nowhere, love its look, feel etc and every minute of the mod journey BECAUSE, she just sounds fab, better and better as you go along.
