Custom Wood Plinth for Technics SL-1200G, GR, and GR2 (PRE-ORDER)

While Technics makes some of the most outstanding turntables in the industry, we've noticed that the metallic industrial Japanese look just doesn't work in some living rooms. 

This SkyFi designed and commissioned plinth allows the SL-1200G, GR, and GR2 to blend nicely into a decor requiring a neutral wood tone, adding just the right amount of warmth while maintaining a sleek sophisticated look.  

Plinth is constructed of the best solid wood we could locate. Each piece is carefully chosen so that the cleanest and most attractive part of the wood is visible.  Many linear feet are discarded in this process that just don't pass the test.  

The wood is routed to a precise dimension so that it slips into the SL-1200 from above and makes contact with the slight upper lip, making the complete package look perfectly integrated.  

Installation takes just a few seconds and no tools.  

The plinth features two strips of foam that provide a snug friction fit so that nothing else is required to install. Just place your turntable where you'd like it, level the feet, and drop in the plinth from above. 

The plinth does not allow for a hinged cover to be used and the receiving hinges will need to be removed from the turntable by unfastening the 4 screws.  Frankly, one should never use a turntable with a hinged cover in place anyways as it acts like a large sail or microphone picking up all the acoustical energy in the air.  This system allows you to use your cover by simply placing it on top, like many other turntables do. 

There are cutouts on the rear of the 'table that allow passthrough for both the power and audio cables (not visible in this prototype). 

There are two options available, both in American Walnut.  The only difference is one features the Technics logo etched into the front and one does not.

These are hand crafted by a local NJ artisan so they will be available in low quantities. 

More wood finishes to come at a later time based on demand.

We have confirmed it will fit on the SL-1200G, SL-1210G, SL-1200GR, SL-1210GR, SL-1200GR2 and SL-1210GR2 - but it may fit on other models.  

We are taking pre-orders at this time with a limited initial production run on 10 pieces.  

Price will be sub $1000 including shipping.
