New aftermarket plinth for Technics SP 10 MK2/MK3/R from Acoustand
@lewm  As whart observed, the tonearm is a Clearaudio TT2, I must have misunderstood and he built the plinth only.

@whart  "Arm looks like a Clearaudio TT2" Yes, you are correct.  I must have misunderstood and that he only built the plinth. I should be ok with a heavy plinth as the floor is concrete and I plan using a Vibraplane 2210 isolation platform I boug...

@elliottbnewcombjr  Did you notice any audible difference made by the addition of the acrylic?

@atmasphere  The escutcheon and the outer/bottom body of the MK3 are also Al, but obviously thinner. The ultimate would be to remove the motor from the escutcheon/body and mount naked, which a couple different aftermarket plinth manufacturers have...
