Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II


“For those who want the moon but can't afford it or those who can afford it but like to have fun and work with their hands, I'm willing to give out a recipe for a true high-end 'table which is easy to do, and fun to make as sky's the limit on design/creativity! The cost of materials, including 'table, is roughly $200 (depending, more or less), and add to that a Rega tonearm. The results are astonishing. I'll even tell/show you how to make chipboard look like marble and fool and impress all your friends. If there's interest I'll get on with this project, if not, I'll just continue making them in my basement. The next one I make will have a Corian top and have a zebra stripe pattern! Fun! Any takers?”

Jock strap gives better bass response and lower rumble. I don't like the hf response with panty hose.
Yeah, Lew, but "Spring will really hang you up the most."

Geez, what's happened to this thread.
Yeah, I've tried a multitude of elastic strings. Anyone have method or something sure fire that works OR a spare spring they would like to sell. I'm without music now and very frustrated, I just can't get it to work and I'm dumbfounded.
Finally got this fixed, I had inadvertently knocked the bearing out while removing the platter, so my problem had nothing to do with the string as it turns out. I re-lubed the bearing reattached it and then the string worked perfectly.
