L75 in a heavy 3 part plinth, weighing in at 65 lbs. Outer casework of solid cherry and birdseye maple veneer.

This is the sub plinth that attaches to the main turntable chassis. It has maximum direct contact to the chassis. It also has the base for the tonearm mounting board. This sub plinth also has a bearing damper clamp.

This is the bottom view of the sub plinth showing the bearing damper. The clamp has a uniform (1mm) clearance around the bearing housing into which a thin lead sheet or blu-tac is inserted to make contact with the bearing. I ended up just using the blu-tac as it was much less hastle than the lead with no detectable performance issues.

This is the main plinth. This is where most of the mass is. All baltic birch ply, glued together.

This is how the chassis and the plinth goes together. The top plate is mounted to the sub plinth with tiny dots of blu-tac, then aligned and clamped to the bearing. This assembly is mounted to the main plinth with blu-tac. All three parts are then clamped together with 3 inch KD furniture bolts through the layers.

Everything assembled and ready for the outer plinth to be slipped on.

Speed Selector detail. The 16 rpm speed is used to disengage the idler. Speed selector knob now sees more use than it was originally designed for and the stock knobs have a tendency to break. Knob was replaced with a knob saved from a throw away 80's receiver.

Ugly but effective. Salvaged 4 cu ft cabinets and a simple first order crossover. A little more work, but they sound fantastic.
