Nice job!
Makes me wish I had kept mine, now knowing now the rumble from the idler motor system could have been silenced by use of a well made wood base.
Has the new base absorbed the rumble vibrations enough?
This is the one I use.
Have no use for the IR function, however, for my purpose as a hobbyist, it does the job.
The link below to PDF manual shows its capabilities.
