You may want to ask Audiogon member "4yanx". He has built several custom plinths for various Lenco's and Thorens, with beautiful inlay work.

He made me some custom wood knobs for my TRL ST-225 integrated which are perfect ... exactly what I wanted.

Do a search for Audiogon member 4yanx

Shload, what are you looking for in a plinth?

Are you looking for an asthetic upgrade a performance upgrade or both?

I've done a few over the years, the latest one can be seen in my system gallery.
Here's another guy, Doug Olsen:

and an example of his work:

I haven't used him, but he was very professional in our correspondence.

With all due respect I am not sure that I'd hire either of the guys that posted their own pictures on this thread. In the first one of the Lenco it looks like someone messed up the miter cuts in the corners and hid the start over by using a darker color of wood. The second one of the Teres seems a little better and maybe it is the camera work but there look like a lot of open grain and even some snading marks for such a fine as wood as used. Deserved a better finish. Buy I am picky. Other people might not be. Don't get me wrong they are nice enough but not like the quality someone should be paying for.

There are potentaill a couple of very fine looking plinths in the link the Armstrod provides but it is unclaer if the person who made the website built all of these or if he is just posting a bunch done by other people.

I don't see an real examples from the lolo of jes45 guy.
