That's what I put on my sl1200mkII... works for me, but the alternative was an old sewing needle glued to a cheap Pickering cart. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windashine Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 New thought available.... 1. Since the Marantz will become part of the console.... 2. Use your table saw to trim an 1/8" off the front and the back of the TT base (please do not hurt me lol) 3. Drop into your console like a greased eel slipping down a wet drain pipe.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Other than the cost, I would have looked at the uturnaudio orbit tables. They are 317.5 mm deep. https://uturnaudio.com/products/orbit-special-turntable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windashine Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Emile, just in case you're looking at your table saw..... saw a whole 1/4" off the front of your newly acquired vintage Marantz and save it, that way I don't have to make another post about fixing your power cord and rca jacks..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlthess40 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Emile. What’s the size of the table that you need? I have 5 or 6 tables here and maybe one will work. Tell me in inches pleaseLol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlthess40 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I found your info. 350mmI have two tables that are less then thatI just need to see if any one of them workI’ll let you know tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windashine Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 350 mm is 13 3/4" depth by the published standards in the owners manual, vintage hifi com has a nice download page.... I've been thinking, that if you just remove the top plastic dust cover and it's accompanying brackets, that your TT replacement will readily "drop-in" The owners manual has the wiring information printed in the event disassembly has commenced, if the table saw is speaking to you... Have a great day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still about 1-2mm too big ... plus probably want a little more space so the feet act as cushions ... If I fit it "tight" the vibrations from haha the better speakers will surely be a problem Thanks, Emile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emile Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 OK; couldn't resist Bought some more stuff to put into my vintage stereo console. Yamaha CR-820 and an Oppo DV-970HD. The Yammie has a "presence" control knob ... unfamiliar with those ... think it's up/down in the 3 KHz range Haha ... stuff will get here when my wife is "out of town" next week. Will have to make some motorboards to fit my RF-3 and SB-3 speakers into it Posted some of this in "What I got Today" also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlthess40 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 That thing is looking great. I liked your idea so much that i went out and got a 1959 rca console with just a turntable and a tube ampVery simple design. I may install my Yamaha 3060 TT in it and leave the amp in it. And it’s stereo with 2 way speaker setupKeep up with the photos so I can copy some of your ideas, if your ok with that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
