Linn Basik restoration

Bought a Lot at at estate sale this weekend and along with about 500 records I also got the equipment. The TT included is a Linn Basik with the Akito tonearm. Table works flawlessly, but unfortunately the dust cover hinges are broke. No cracks in the lid though. Biggest issue is the “plinth” (if you want to call it that). Simply four pieces of mdf glued to the base and covered in black vinyl tape. This vinyl is peeling badly. 

I’ve made a few calls and sent some emails but can’t seem to locate anyone in the US to restore or upgrade the plinth. 

Anyone know someone that does this kind of work on Linn Basiks?

Thanks for the reply! I was jist about to give up on finding any assistance in the US and on Agon! 

I think I will go the carpenter route as there seems to be no other options. Nearest Linn dealer is 3 hours away. The table needs very little work, and it’s playing as I type this. Just cosmetic issues I want to tighten up, then I’ll probably use it as my mono player. 

Been a Zappa fam since the 70’s but sadly never saw Frank live. I’ve seen Dweezil a handful of times and he is capable of giving a Frank fan goose bumps. I’m sure the show you saw was fantastic!
