@dirtmudd Thanks - I will need to have a look at the name of the tint and reply in the morning
-
I will be using the same oil stain as the Garrard 401 plinth The penetrating wood oil is called Cutek
-
I have redesigned the plinth to be unique and possibly a one of a kind Since my last post I had the idea germinate in my minds eye and have visited my local boutique timber merchant looking for a slab offcut Well yesterday I found a piece of laminated Tasmanian Oak just the right size, and I am just preparing the measurements and templates for outer cuts and the cutout for the turntable Also decided that the cuts will be done at a local CNC shop for accuracy The idea is to 1 Have a table top surface for the turntable to sit flush with 2 A plinth frame will be attached on the underside - Same as a 19mm standard plinth but thicker @32mm 3 All the standard bracing as per original will be made to suit 4 The TT cutout of the table top will be reused as a base plate 5 Add a different refurbished cover from the past as it suits to perfection. This cover has a darker tint that blends better overall with the TT and is a little larger I have photos of the new design idea This is the slab with the frame / plinth timber I will be using behind The frame to the right is an old plinth frame that was damaged but used as an illustration The templates are made Outer for the overall top & Inner for the turntable cutout The rear view to what it will look like all around with the frame in place The cover with the darker tint I intend using And a photo with flash takes the tint away 😃 I dont have a timeline as Christmas is approaching and I have some side projects to complete first HOWEVER I can also use the same technique as above and turn the plank longways Overlap the current 19mm think plinth / frame by up to 10mm to give an overall 3D effect, and better timber end grain matching Then use the original Thorens cover ( as the cover above overlaps in this rotation) What say you on the best orientation option ?

You are a champion mate 👌

Mike this is my version with Red cover It indicates that it’s unofficial on the info so I have deduced from the info that it’s a bootleg https://www.discogs.com/Amy-Winehouse-At-The-BBC/release/5660869
-
The other Amy Winehouse album in the recent purchase set was the classic Spinning now a favourite album Amy had that uniqueness that could not be ignored ( RIP Amy ) Artist - Amy Winehouse Title - Back To Black
-
Part of a recent record bulk buy is this album The album is more raw and organic in the track presentation than the studio recorded versions And I think it is possibly a bootleg with very very good SQ Artist - Amy Winehouse Title - At The BBC
-
The whole album is great and left you wanting more Only have the 4 Rush remaster CDs that I purchased ( pre loved ) so I can’t compare to other releases Still to spin 2112 & Moving Pictures

We make fine wines Even the French are jealous Some local wines costing less than $10 have won gold medals on blind tasting tests Re record stack Sort out the gems from the chaff Sell the gems at a premium and the rest to a record merchant Alternatively You can find a local record fair and pay for a stall to sell the records Or A weekend market And if keen on strangers - you can go a yard sale
-
You need to assess the condition of 1) Vinyl disc 2) Cover Then how rare and or popular the records are Best to catalogue on Discogs and they will give you an overall value on 3 quality / condition levels And you can also see what is selling and if someone is wanting a title If it’s bulk Then most folks will pay $2.00 each to $10each depending what’s there Classical bulk will fetch 0.50 cents if lucky

Let me just say that just some of the larger capacitors used on my crossovers cost more than $99 AU each So $99 US for a whole crossover pair is great -
