juniper8 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Borrowed this idea from a gentleman over at AK who had the same problem with is TT feet that I had with mine. Nice easy project that seems to work pretty well. The first picture is of the old TT feet the previous owner had tried to repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juniper8 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Here is what formed the base of the feet, which are 1.5" Kwik Caps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juniper8 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 These are lawn furniture protective feet which have been cut, painted and drilled with a bolt inserted that matches the TT's original feet bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juniper8 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Here they are installed and leveled. This seems to work quite well and took very little time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 That looks simple and effective. Could you hear any difference in the sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juniper8 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 I haven't had a chance to listen, but my limited knowledge with turntables and set up restricts my ability to make an accurate determination. I have experienced some very slight inner groove distortion, maybe some of it will be reduced? I have read that the new cart I am using, has this defect. I only have one album that I have listened to enough to make some sort of comparison, but I will try and let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
