Tuntable not working with wood floors..Help

Moved into a new (old) house, with wood floors and it is giving me a huge headache. I have my AR Turntable sitting on top of my rack, and it is absolutely unplayable. You can not even tip toe through the room with out the needle bouncing out of control. I placed a bike tube and a piece of glass underneath it, and it helped, but its still not playable. Here's what I need to know. 1) Would a new table help? The AR is set up so the platter and the arm float on the same suspension (which appears to be very loose), would a TT with a different design help/solve my problem. 2) If not the table, what can I do to get this thing to work? I am in college so $ is very slim (I am talking Ramen and Keystone slim). I don't think my landlord would be happy about mounting it on the wall, but I may take that chance if it comes to it. All advise is much appreciated!

Try hanging from the ceiling first. Really won't cost much to try. May be ugly, but you may be surprised how well it works. I had to do that in my apartment, and even though there was an apartment above me, worked well. Just got a platform and cable. It will sway slightly but it's cheap and easy.
Good luck.. I know how frustrating that can be
