Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?

Lewm,

Reason being that the DN308 is a very large machine, overall dimensions are 23.5W x 18.5D x 9.5T weight is 140 lbs.   I did toy around with the layered wood approach it just became too big IMO.   Its a VERY substantial machine as is both Top and Bottom are made from 1" thick T6061 tool plate. Arm boards are replaceable - however because if its size, the platter is 14" Diameter, only 12" arms are useable, the 14" Kozma 4 point can also be incorporated, have been on one and another with 2 each of the Kuzma's are being discussed with a potential customer.   

I'm making a plinth for the DP80 also using the design of the big Brother the DN308 with a 1" thick T6061 Aluminum tool plate on top but a HDF bottom incorporated into the hardwood frame. This will be the GrooveMaster Vintage Direct DP80 Professional. 


Good Listening

Thanks Peter but I can't afford one. Besides I have an SP-10 MKIII that I really love as well as about five more models I am in the process of rebuilding myself.

Thanks, Peter.  I will look forward to seeing photos of the DP80 mechanicals in the DN308-type plinth.

Is this thread an advertisement for PBN? This like spam. I've got no beef against you Peter or your turntables. I just feel like this thread has been hijacked.

Please tell us more about your turntables. On another thread.
