Nakamichi TX-1000 Platter

I need some help, please...Can anyone tell me what/how the mirror finish was achieved on the Nakamichi TX-1000 glass platter...it would appear to be something a little more robust than a top surface mirror. Any help would be appreciated - especially help which points me in the direction of someone who can re-coat it!

Thanks,

Paul.

It's just a mirror. You can cut another piece of mirror and replace the old one or better yet, pop the spindle out from the brass part (it comes off easilly)and get a better sounding mat for the tt.

What happened to your glass mat?

What mat are you using? Did you pop up th glass mat and install the new mat on the spindle or put the new mat on top of the glass mat?

I am using a Boston Mat1 on top of the glass but I am wondering if I should pop the glass off the spindle and install the new mat on the spindle.

BTW, What kind of mat are you using?

Thanks! I will remove the glass mat and glue my other mat to the spindle.

Yes, the Funk mat is a great mat but the Boston is IMO a better sounding mat. I did an AB before settling for the Boston. Where can I get a bronze mat?

Cheers,

John
