(For the benefit of our trans-Atlantic cousins, drawing pins are also known as thumb-tacks, I believe).
Getting "air" under the record was a B&O thing too which is where I was before joining AoS got me hooked on box swapping . I had previously tried a DIY foam "spotmat" which worked well on other TT's but not so on the Techie.

Hi Marco, I had a feeling you weren't done experimenting with the Reso Mat, you could have come round and borrowed mine (I've got enough stuff of yours!) but as you're happy with it I guess it doesn't matter

Will dig it out and have a go
Admittedly it's not the best looking mat but I believe the plastic just acts as a "jig" for the spikes (and I think early productions were card), they are available to buy separately I'm sure someone on here has silicone'd some to a copper topped Techie platter.
