The table is the original SL-1700 but it does have the spring platform.

The spring suspension on the SL-1700 is excellent. The mounting should be to the plinth via aluminum brackets if it’s like the SL-1700mk2 which then suspends the TNRC floating base that carries the spindle and tonearm. Since the spring suspension is already giving you plenty of isolation, you don’t have to spend a fortune on feet. |
Looking at photos 11&12 on pic click https://picclick.com/Technics-SL-1700-Turntable-Plinth-Genuine-item-Cabinet-392013998923.html#&gid=1&pid=11 the suspension is the same design in principle. Drilling and tapping the holes for the old foot mounts to accept the SL-1200mk2 feet should be just as easy as on my SL-1700mk2. Don’t drill all the way, because you need to put a screw in the bottom of each suspension tower to secure it to the plinth. I took regular sheet metal screws, #6 iirc, chucked them into a drill and held a flat file to the heads to make them fit through the suspension tower. It is much easier than it sounds. Really, it is. |
