Any other tables out there with similar feet? Any thoughts on how to restore the scratches,this is defo a keeper,after saving it from the crusher!

Restoring the scratches unfortunately will lead you to the abandoned hobby of mine -

Same here. :p One hobby that will teach you patience and striving for perfection with a steady hand.

Just try to find some paint in the same colour. Or you will have to redo the whole cabinet.

Yup, VPI ScoutMaster, JMW 9 tone arm, Benz LP-S MR LOMC cartridge. The Alabama Shakes album sounds terrific!

Great looking/great job!
 
I see you use a lot of isolation between the TT and the speaker.  A must, to keep the bass out.  Amazing!

LOL. That was the other way to cover up the scratches. I was about to suggest a beautiful colored TMNT band-aid. :p
And good choice of music! David Sylvian still undercover...

Skylab; awesome picture (and TT).

George Merrill modified The AR Turntable with Sumiko Premier MMT tonearm, VTA-16 base, and Premier PIB-1 phono interface box.
 
[Mods: Merrill acrylic subchassis/tonearm board, upgraded high torque AC motor with Foucault shield, inner platter balanced and lead coated, new spindle, bearings and oil well, new springs. From Merrill/Scillia Research an acrylic platter with a Whitacre copolymer ring available.]
 
The table is supported by Immedia Finite Elemente/Ceraball isolation feet which sit on a 23 3/4' x 15 3/4' slab of polished Brazilian granite in turn resting on a set of MapleShade IsoBlocks, all on a Target VW1 Pro wall mount turntable shelf.
 
Denon DL-304 (0.19mV @ 1.2g) & Denon DL-103D (0.28mV @ 1.5g) low output moving coil cartridges in Orsonic AV-1 anti-vibration and Sumiko HS12 headshells; Extremephono stylus cleaner; AuralThrills / VanDenHul D501 cable or PIB-1 w/HomeGrownAudio Super Silvers; 592g SC-101 spindle weight; Disc Doctor and Nagaoka CL-152 vinyl cleaners; Audioquest anti-static brush; Herbie's HAL-O Jr tonearm dampers.
 
I'm using step up transformers for my low output moving coil cartridges, currently running Cinemag CMQEE-3440As. This also gives me some additional gain over the ~60dB or so the Odyssey Tempest MC stage provides. I find the HomeGrownAudio Super Silvers less veiled but somewhat brighter than the Aural Thrills/VanDenHul phono cable. I also found the Whitacre copolymer ring to take a bit too much of the edge off the treble registers for my liking.

Just in time. Finally got a better camera!
 


Need to learn how to use it though. Thought I had some better shots.

Nice picture :thumbup:

Nice and VERY carefully chosen setup - pumping into some Maggies ?
