VPI Scoutmaster and Target Wall Shelf

Turntable measures about 19.5 x 14 (with motor sticking out)
Where the feet are I think I can fit onto an 118.5x14 platform. The right side of the turntable may have to extended out on that side. I think I'll go with the Target 2 shelf unit so for when I add the SDS later down the road. I also plan to order the 2" mapleshade platform upgrade ($245) and isoblocks to mount it to the wall shelf. Later I will add the bearclaws or mapleshade brass footers to replace the stock metal cone feet.

Oops, that should be 18.5x14 platform in my previous post.

I took the plunge and ordered the larger single shelf model. I'd like to replace the stock MDF board with maple later. Also would like to change the stock cone feet on the Scoutmaster to some mapleshade heavyfeet. But I'll start with the shelf first and tweak one step at a time.

So it seems Target has moved their factory and the shelf is on back order. I looked around the web and found a shelf I like even better:

Quadraspire Q4 Wall Bracket. I opted for maple shelf on silver bracket
Ordered from Gene Rubin Audio. The person I talked to on the phone even measured one for me to make sure the Scoutmaster will fit on it.

Here's an update. So about a week ago, I got the Quadrasprie wall rack in. I mounted it, but it's very flimsy. Not built well. The side rails are separate and you have to bolt them onto the wall mount. They do not stay at a 90 degree angle from the mount. For $375 I expected better build quality. I'm going to see about getting a return. I found this here on audiogon and looks like it would be more stable.

I've sent an email to the dealer with a few questions about it's mounting system and weight support. Looks like it will handle a scoutmaster without any issues.
