Damn... The parties at the Roseland... Such memories!

Thanks Mike, I guess I didn't connect acrylic with plexiglass.......so.........what do pieces of Plexi cost for this application....say......18 pieces of 3" X 6" X 3/8 " I think those dimensions are close...

[laatsch55]

Wow! Great research and offer of materials!! I'll hold off on my purchase, I'd much rather pay for a hot-rodded Phoenix Audio version

I had a thought about having the Phoenix Audio Community Forums etched or displayed somehow on the base bar, if it didn't disrupt the cost too much...anyone able to give info on embedding/burning script into a piece of acrylic?

This is all very exciting! You go Boys!!!

I'm pre-buying two from Lee right off the bat!!

Mikes the builder, so can Navo, 3D printing of a base and tower would be cool....

What are the chances that this could help the guy with the nonfunctional meters on his PL700?

 

[laatsch55]

Darn good Mark. We've been trying to integrate some answers in his thread too..

 

[MarkWComer]

Hey Lee , I may have mentioned this before but my brother and I have a custom Acrylic shop. We build displays, funiture, large
Aquariums, TT covers, Amp bases etc, you name it.

Justmike:
I've been looking for a cover for this old record changer for a long time. Outer dim is 15 1/16" wide, 13 3/4" deep, inner height to clear spindle is 5 1/4". I want to do something better than covering it with a towel. PM with a price if you wanna do it, OK?
