Yep, I have to wait a little longer for a few more bits. I need a 10mm spacer but I can make one of these. The Koetsu black is being shipped from the USA and I think I need to buy a new counter weight for the 3012. But these are all small things :)Quote:

The plinth you see is temporary and will be replaced next year with a solid sandstone plinth. I'm in the process of getting the stone cut and marked up for next year, so I guess we should have more pics next year! I've included a picture of what I had to start with and the finished product. The 301 had sat in a garage for 3 years before I started work on it.
Very slight update. The 3012 is now sporting a new head shell and some lovely gold plated cartridge leads which replace the old SME one which had become heavily oxidised over the last 25 years. I really must get that sandstone plinth sorted!
What kind of platter mat is that?Quote:

Not updated for a while but next week I have an appointment with a local stone mason to get the plinth made:eyebrows. I have 100kg of sandstone to play with so I can have either a single tier system or a double tier system. No that really is a heavy mass design!!!!
Right, this project is nearly finished. New Koetsu is coming next week. A new plinth has been designed and should be here in 2-3 weeks! There is also a new record puck being made. This then should finish this deck.
Good project Andrew. It'll be nice to see what the final result is. It should sound pretty damn good!
Thanks. TBH I've been really lazy with this over last 6 months. I have a Denon 103 strapped to it at the moment and even though the 301 is plonked into a rough n ready plinth it sounds bloody good. I'm also going to be using a SUT, I'm thing something from choir audio :eyebrows:
