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

I may be MIA for a couple of days — But will check regularly
Had a pet dog medical emergency at the Vet hospital
My dog had a tick and developed paralysis so I am nursing him back to health now that he is home
Can’t buy any audio related items as it’s cost me almost as much as Mikes new TT

Now your system can do with a dust and polish as the Mani is a little bit to shiny now 🤪

I have read that Scofield never plays the same tune twice live as he adds more or less as he goes along
Anyway the video above is blocked to me so I will add another

Ok, let us know on where you place that stone!
Measured the tile and was good for under the turntable so I proceeded to give it a try
So I placed it under the TT - Gave it the tap tone test and decided not to use it as it has some ringing tone on the tap test
Not all is lost as it gave me a chance to clean the dust from that section and put the TT back as it was

Looks like an enjoyable evening
I just had a light lunch and contemplating on what to do with a large stone tile I was given
Got to check the measurements to see if it will fit under the TT - otherwise under a component

I am now playing another release by Barclay James Harvest
