DIY base for Thorens TD160


Hi all. I'm new to this forum and need some help on a suitable base/case for the above T/T. The turntable itself is already mounted on a plinth which I made myself many years ago (from MDF) to fit into a custom cabinet. Rather stupidly at the time I threw out the original base and perspex cover.

I now want to re-assemble my separates in a rack so therefore need to remount the T/T. Looking around the Web I'm astonished at some of the silly prices asked for what is basically a 'box' - some quite crudely designed. I am aware of the advantages of Professionally made bases but feel I can produce something suitable myself at reasonable cost.

Anyone have any plans/drawings/ideas/DIY experience on this ?

Thanks and regards.

It may not be a bad idea to give The Cable Company a call. They sell more of this kind of thing than anyone. You may find something used/demo or just maybe a cost effective new solution. Also, they will let you try it in your system first before you commit to a purchase.
