A Copernican View of the Turntable System

Dear all,
I asked my carpenter if he could produce a plinth for my SP10 MK II. I know when starting this i left the path of wisdom, at least to most of the supporters of a naked solution. The plinth is 140 mm high. Does anybody know how long the screws should be to fix the motor? the holes for the screws are going to the bottom of the plinth (140 mm). I guess among us are some experts who have gained much more experience with the Technics SP 10 MK II than me.

Deat Thuchan - a suggestion while searching for your screws, that you have a glorious opportunity to test out the sp10 on 3 nice footers.

I am sure you must have many lying around ?

Your ET arm :) would require one bolt for it to be mounted for test purposes on a basic arm pod.

Just a thought.

Cheers Chris

Dear Chris,

you are right, many footers are lying around here. Maybe need to clear a bit. Which arm do you mean? EMT 997?

Dear Thuchan

I selfishly meant your Eminent Technology arm.

But any other surface mount tonearm would make this very simple and quick to try out.

the screws can be 140mm long. if you counterbore the 5 holes in the bottom to fit the screw heads to a depth of appx 3/8" that will allow 3/8" penetration into the sp10 thread sockets, which is more than enough. c/b the holes to allow for a washer as well, so 3/8 deep x 3/4 to 1" dia. should work fine.
