Dave,
I'm sure that if you did all the work yourself including building the plinth it won't cost
anywhere near 1-2K. It sounds like it would be the perfect winter project for someone
who enjoys these turntables.
There has to be a lot of good information out there which will help greatly.
You can do a slate plinth for around £200 using a stonemason. Otherwise try a birch ply sketetal plinth for peanuts. The rest of the fettling it dis-assembly, lube and re-assembly. It does not need to cost a lot.
There's a company in Watford that's done several slate plinths for a friend of mine at about £200 each. They are of similar quality to my Slatedeck plinth.
So what's holding our Alex back then ???? :lol:
I know, I've had the TD125 for nearly two years and only just got it going..

No it won't Marco, Alex will be spending twice as much time listening to music :)
Na i loved vinyl at one bit but listerned to more CD. Even though Vinyl does seem to sound great on a good system, i'm sorry to say CD does actually give the most indepth better listerning for me.
