WOOD SURROUND for Audio Technica AT120; Technics 1200 and Technics 1210

My friend has a Technics SL-1210 GR. I just sent him that link, I think he will like that !

Thanks for posting!

I recall a long discussion about a new TT, and while many advanced models of Technics were recommended, over and over, it was the appearance that the OP, and I would not spend real money on.

If you really don't like the look of the AT120, but agree, it is quite a good 'starter' TT, a wood surround makes a big difference. Keep it, or sell it, with the wood surround should be easier to sell, or, like me, find someone to give it to.

I am glad it just popped up, those TTs look much better within wood, IMO.

this Technics 1210MK2 costs $2,600. I would not buy it, or, now that I know, add the wood, now a viable choice.

The turntable seems to sit in the plinth. I wonder it it affects the sound. They look great.

there are details to get answers about.

the photo from etzy, you can see the TT’s feet, and of course the feet would be involved in leveling.

etzy also has an option to choose hinge cutouts for the dust cover.

the eBay photo I posted does not show bottom details, but shows the dust cover on. look at the other photos, it has cross braces with holes for the TT feet to go thru, and the wood frame floats above the surface like etzy's does. back cut for dust cover hinges, a rear center hole in the rear brace for wires?

I would write the eBay maker with questions.
