Do you have a tatty 1200 or 1210 ?

[Audio Al]

If you do these look good

Looks bloody cheap for the effort that must go into making them. Might buy a 1200 just so I can buy a lilac faceplate! :lol:

You big lilac tart :D

I have a mint 1200 and a tatty one but I don't see how these work. It says you just take the hinges off and slide it on but how do you do that without removing the arm and so forth?

He could do with a much better advert.

If you look at the last image the arm hole is pre cut so it will just drop on with a bit of wiggling

[struth]

better be a good wiggler:lol:

I have something very similar on mine. I got the seller to do me a custom plate without the pitch slider cutout which I removed. Mine has a shorter lip on the outside (I think it looks better than the deep one).
IMO it really lifts the aesthetics of the TT. From memory it was about the same price.

Designed to perfection and precision made, each face plate is built from mild steel, laser cut, CNC folded and welded on all for corners to Aircraft specification, leaving a seamless join.
Powder-coated with a hard wearing finish, this product offers a durable, long lasting solution, preventing your decks from getting damaged.

All that for £65 is in my book a bargain :eek:

Is the mint one green?.....:)

It's played a lot of records over the years so I would say it is quite experienced...:)

Thanks Al. just fancied something different:D

I've contacted the seller on eBay and for an extra £15 so £65 for the short version he will make one without pitch slider, light and light switch cut out which seems very reasonable.

Thats a good price Nat. The quality is the best I have come across for the Technics 1200.

£15 more for less work?

[walpurgis]

If ever a product was designed to resonate, it's these.

[Hibster_2000]

How do the wooden ones affect the sound quality? In a good or bad way, or are they purely cosmetic?

[Dubster68]

If ever a product was designed to resonate, it's these.

If you apply damping pads to the edges on the inside you get no resonance from them as they are a very tight fit.

[Natara]

Well it's not really they are cut out with a cnc computer cutter so it has to be reprogrammed not to cut out the slider etc and then back again to cut them out. So I think £15 is fair enough because it is actually more work and essentially a one off custom job.

I think they are well priced and even £15 more to get what you want is good Nat.
