In my old age, my interest in analogue hi-fi is returning (+), and since I've been offered a Garrard 301 turntable (*), I thought I might make (or at least, have made) a plinth for it. I was thinking of getting it machined out of slate. I know it can be done, because commercial ones are available, but anyone know if it would be possible to have a slate supplier machine it for me, given drawings (which I have)?
Also, I'd like to fabricate a Persex cover for said turntable. I know Perspex can be welded with chloroform, but I have no way of machining the bevel edges needed to make a neat (5 sided) box. Any thoughts?
(* Listened to some actual LPs last night. I'd forgotten how good it sounds.)
(+ This is a project, really. I already have a perfectly good turntable.)
