Weght limit for SolidSteel shelf/cones?


I own a SolidSteel rack (5 series) and am considering buying a turntable that weighs just under 50 lbs. Is this too much for the 3 cone points that hold up the top shelf of the SolidSteel? The cones seem to be aluminum--not the hardest metal.

Thanks for any advice.

Thanks guys. I wasn't so much worried that the cones would break as that the small ends might gradually deform over time or something like that. I do wonder about the stock MDF shelf, especially at the back where there is only one cone in the center. The turntable will have two back feet toward the outside where there is no support.

Onhwy61, are you using the standard MDF shelves?

Pmotz, I thought once about replacing the top shelf with maple, but wasn't sure how to drill holes for the cones to sit in that would be perfectly level and smooth. Did you do that yourself or did the company that made the shelf take care of it?

Thanks --
