??? Wood Plinths: Layers: 7/2/1 ? Wood Type: Solid or Veneer or Vinyl Wrap wood look ?

I hope we can assemble a thread of answers about the various Wood Plinths we have or definitely know about.

I'm trying to choose a TT for my office: JVC Victor/Denon/Pioneer/Sony/Technics/Marantz .. etc. 

If I go for a Wood Base, it's confusing, both the layered construction of the base, and the actual exterior wood material. Layers: I'm asking about the deck thickness/construction for the spinner (most are thinner at arm location).

...........................

JVC Victor Wood Plinths with CL-P_ (CL-P1, 2, 3, 10)

I believe are all Premium 70mm thick 7 layer composite construction with real wood veneer. Mostly these are separate plinths, you add a spinner and a tonearm (or 2: CL-P2 or even 3: CL-P3). What's the difference between CL-P1 and CL-P10???

JVC Turntables (factory assembled and sold as a unit): Some have removable arm boards, some don't, some have multi-layer, others 2 layers, or only 1 layer?

Denon Plinths?

Denon Turntables?

the other brands are primarily factory assembled turntables, who knows about the deck thickness/material?

Please post what you know about your specific models, current or past, or you just know, I think we all would benefit from a lot of answers, I certainly will.

GLUE:  IF Treated Well: some brands/models veneer/wrap glue holds up, others not so well, some veneer/wraps are thick, some thin, hold up, or don't. Knowledge, comments, known problematic models/

A free for all will result I hope

regards, Elliott

you might ask him to keep the TT61 and pioneer tonearm, tell him you won’t need the transformer in that case.

less for him to pack and ship,

he might reduce the price some, I asked him a long time ago to sell just the base, he was not receptive, but he just reduced the price because it is not moving, my guess is not selling because he didn’t show the dust cover and people prefer TT71, TT81. Dollar is strong now!

If Vlad says the dust cover is very nice, I don't doubt his word.

Well I talked to him and purchased it for $382.00 USD shipped minus the tonearm. I can't find anything about the TT61 motor assembly. I figure it's a much cheaper version of the TT71 that I have. Big negative is it comes with no cover. Hopefully I can sell the motor for enough to get a cover if I can find one.

what do you mean. he has the cover, he told me it was included, and that it is in very good shape.

you could write him and quote me that he said it was included. I have it in writing from him.

he also said he would include a transformer for the TT61.

He might have going further for me than a new customer, but I would definitely get that cover.

I hope you are well there at this hard time.

  1. The cover is original factory made in very good condition.
  2.  I will include a trasformer
  3.  Tonearm has bare wires which were soldered to audio cable
  4.  Shipping would be around $120 via carrier
Regards,
Vlad

Thanks Elliott, I just sent him a message and even included your message from him. I doubt it will do any good at this point as he should have my payment by now. To be fair, the add didn't mention a dust cover, I assume he pulled that out of the add before I even saw it.
Do you know anything about the TT61? I can find no information about that model of motor drive. Vlad said that my TT71 and up will fit right in.
Thank youBill

Bill,

You will love it, and the price is very good IMO.

I've been watching it for a long while. He never showed a photo, or mentioned the dust cover. (why it didn't sell IMO). (and nobody seems excited about TT61).

When asked, surprisingly for that price, his response seemed to be, of course it is included, factory, very good condition, so be hopefull.

I find less info about the TT61, however, my guess is when you test it before you switch to yout TT71, you will find no performance difference. More 'primitive' looking speed adjustments, who cares.

I think a lot of the improvements, 61, 71, 81, 101, 801 were for progression/perfection of engineering in the peak of TT era with lots of competition from other great engineers. Awesome days.

They all maintain speed fantastically, all are solid whirling space ships, and the plinth is superb!
