Wtd: Plinth for Technics SP-10 MKII

[Idlewithnodrive]

OK, I'm back looking for a plinth for my SP-10 as it transpires that, unfortunately, Angus is no longer able to make me one as arranged.

So, new or used is fine, must be able to accommodate a Rega geometry arm (I have an OL Silver arm) and ideally have a replaceable armboard, just in case

Anybody have anything ?

No, he won't be taking on any new work in the near future. Very disappointing, as I'd already waited a good few weeks to receive a drawing / quote etc.

That's a shame. He's not been well for a few weeks with a reoccurring chest infection and I know he's been inundated with enquiries. He's a retired guy so I don't blame him for taking a bit of the work off.

I'll keep my eyes open for a plinth.

What may be worth doing is going for a slate plinth. Any reputable company will have the machinery to follow the diagram which is easily found online.

Yes, I entirely agree.

All the same, it would have been nice to have been told earlier, as I'm now a month further in, with no plinth on the horizon.

Still, we are where we are.

Not a great fan of slate.

Very true, He's sought all over and has been for many years so can have a lot to get through at times.

Have had plenty of dealings with him, he's more than a tech / engineer in the sense that I regard him as a mate too.

He's had to battle chest infections which can be a bit debilitating, medications can come with side effects sometimes which is another challenge if you know what I mean.

Either way, Slate is indeed an option but like you I've never been drawn to it.

Personally It'd have to be Panzer' or another 'good' wood.

A bespoke Ebony plinth, for instance would probably cost a bomb though.

All the best with it - SP10 does deserve a plinth that will compliment and bring out the best of it's exceptional qualities

I can't speak for the man but as someone who has been a customer of his for some time, I can only report first class service. I can only imagine there's a good reason, as there is usually.

I understand the frustration too. It's impossible not to be frustrated when you have one of the best DD turntables sitting there unused.

Corian? Massy plinth? A guy on eBay does concrete plinths which I quite liked.

Northwest analogue do various slates , you could see if there is a coriander manufacturer as that would make a good plinth?

[Colin2040]

Although coriander may make a pleasant smelling plinth I did mean Corian.

Another thought was Carl Ellis ,I think it’s Ellis, made lenco plinths so don’t know if he would be worth speaking to he’s on Lencoheaven forum.
