For Sale: Russ Collinson Solid Birch plywood plinth for Garrard 401 TT
Last but not least the plinth. This was specially made to me by Russ Collinson. It is made of high quality Finnish Birch plywood and is really solidly built. It weighs 19kg, so if you Garrard is working as it should, this plinth will be quiet for sure.
Unfortunately there is some hairline crackling starting to appear on the high gloss piano finish Russ applied. It hasn't bothered me, but I will sell this as an project, so you would need to sand the varnish down and apply new coats to bring it back how it was. If you do this you can easily change the color to suit your taste, or should I say the wife's taste, at the same time
. Another thing to mention is that you will need new tonearm plate, if not using Jelco SA-750LB. I am sure Russ is happy do one for you if this is required.
To see how it looked when Russ made it to me, go to see Russ Collinson home page:

Click plinths and my is the one in the left bottom corner (plinth012)
I have taken the pictures with Jelco tonearm in-situ, but tonearm is not included on the sale, it is sold separately.
Yours for £250 plus postage.
