I went to the hardware store and purchased another length of Tasmanian Oak timber for the plinth Will use the damaged one as a test template so the new plinth does not get scratched ect Also found some base board materials in my garage so considering this as well for a more robust build Baseboard material available is 25mm thick - high density MDF 25mm thick - Laminated bamboo I have enough material to make a loose isolation base board for coupling as well Son in-law is a timber floor layer so I’m going to get him to cut the 45 deg angles and the baseboard for me

I had to have the dog close to me because he has been sick due to tick paralysis And he was happy just watching from the top of the stairs Then I suppose momentum to over when he chased a lizard I was a little upset but I used facial expressions to show my displeasure 😤

You and I are old timers but most young folks wouldn’t know of either Sérgio or Cannonball I have seen TV news segments and some young folks don’t know who the Beatles are 😲

Just reading a news story about a new refurbished vinyl pressing plant installation in Brazil So I will spin an artist from Brazil and this artist may not need an introduction Artist & Title - Sergio Mendes with Cannonball Adderley and the Bossa Rio Sextet Vinyl ID - MFP 8237 Cannonbal Adderley was an American jazz alto saxophonist of the hard bop era of the 1950s and 1960s.

Update —. I was using the router to make a base insert lip to the bottom of the plinth And an accident happened The dog was chasing a lizard and bumped me as he went past The result was a gouge If I wasn’t a perfectionist I could just fit the base over the damaged area But I think I will start all over again or if I can borrow a plane from a friend I may be able to salvage it as it’s only a depth of less than 1mm
-
Re 45 deg angles - That’s the reason I am siding with black as I can hide the join with paint But I haven’t sanded any of the plinth yet and could look rough with the flash The platter is nice and original - I could sand and polish the edge to a shine Planning to use Neutrik RCA connectors Will update build as I make progress

I have started a plinth build with other enhancements on my Thorens TD-147 And I may have some questions on some materials as I go so I hope members will advise Some background on the Thorens TD-147 model It has all the factory installed TD-160 Super modifications For example 10mm bearing, subframe deadening, heavy thick MDF baseplate ect However the TD-147 has an added auto lift feature at the end of the record Reason for a plinth rebuild is that my units plinth is made from MDF The new plinth will be made from Tasmanian Oak hardwood timber I have decided to keep the same thickness of the plinth @19 mm thick - this decision was arrived at because it will be best to refit the cover without issues However the new plinth will be higher than the standard plinth by about 3/4” Other changes are to install / fix RCA plugs and the power plug onto the plinth ( currently it’s long wires direct from the tonearm wire block strip ) also add some quality feet I have decided to re-use the current thick MDF baseplate So far I have cut the timber for the plinth and glued the sections together As time permits because I’m busy at work day and night Next order of business will be the plinth corner and side blocks I am in two minds about the finish of the top edge surface 1) Paint it black so it matches the turntable colour and stained timber on the sides 2) All timber look

Giving this new remastered album a spin that was a Father’s Day gift Don’t you just hate it when a brand new / sealed album has finger prints on the vinyl surface As I type this post I am enjoying playing this classic album from a well regarded prog band Dog is laying next to me keeping each other company and also enjoying the music Artist - Gentle Giant Title - Octopus
