Wall shelf for VPI Super Scoutmaster?
The reason I suggest shelves with long standards is that the load is distributed over 12 screws total instead of 4. The brackets are also easier to hide. You also have a selection of heights. However, the brackets artemus suggests will work but I would use very heavy duty screws, 3" #16 Torx wood screws or 1/4" lag bolts. I like the idea of a butcher block shelve. You can order that in various sizes and thicknesses. |
Point taken @
mijostyn. The high value of the TT and its 90 lb weight direct my choice. The ones I suggest fasten directly to the wall. The longer standards you offer have more adjustment and more bolts to hold it. But they also extend the load out from the wall. The standards fasten directly but the shelf hangs from the standard itself making a lever that pulls down & out whereas, my choice puts the majority of the weight pushing down. I’d say that either would work. But I’m a belt & suspenders kinda guy @markpao Also, be sure to get your fastener in the center of the stud.Agreed 100% |
I really appreciate the thoughtful responses. I was hoping that there was a commercial product that would meet my needs, as I've found that shelves and stands can have a substantial effect on sound quality, but it sounds like I might have to build my own shelf. As to the Target shelf, I don't believe that it is rated for the weight of the turntable. If anyone out there has mounted a Super Scoutmaster in the past, and knows of a solution, I'd greatly appreciate you sharing. |
I thought that’s what I did? www.manaacoustics.com No longer in business but you can search for pictures/reviews. |
