VPI Scoutmaster and Target Wall Shelf

I'm using the larger Target shelf (I believe Model PS-1) with a Scout which I believe is the same dimensions as the Scoutmaster. Fits perfectly. I've also replaced the MDF board in the Target shelf with a Symposium Svelt Shelf of which a limited number were made to fit the PS-1. A nice way to extend the performance of the Target shelf and the entire playback system. Have a look at my system photos if you want to see how the table fits on the shelf. Lastly, be sure to screw the Target shelf directly into the wall studs. Drill the holes as small as possible relative to the size of your mounting hardware so that you get a very firm bite. Do this and you will never worry about the table being too heavy for the wall shelf. Don't and always wonder if your table is going to come crashing down.

Be careful, my Scout just fits comfortably on the oversized PS-1. You need room for the motor to extend beyond the side of the turntable plus it is nice to have a little extra space for stylus cleaning fluid, record brush, etc. If you add an SDS later the cable is plenty long to place it on your rack nearby. I took a close look at the smaller Target shelf and decided it was going to be a VERY tight fit--too close for comfort. Just MHO.

Congrats Arnold. I think you will be pleased with the larger shelf. You may want to keep your eyes out for a Symposium Svelt Shelf sized to fit as a replacement for your MDF shelf. The Scoutmaster stock feet present the metal to metal contact point that the Symposium shelf is designed for to drain away vibration. There are not many of these out there but I have found it to be an excellent substitute for the stock MDF shelf. Enjoy!
