 <\/p>\n

Why customize a turntable?<\/h2>\n

First of all, this customized turntable<\/strong> was made as part of a personal project by our technicians. Unfortunately, this is not a service we offer to our customers. However, this can give some ideas to the most DIY enthusiasts \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Indeed, if the plinth of your turntable<\/a> is deteriorated over time or during improper handling, changing it can be an option to give it a \u201cmakeover\u201d. This can also be the solution if you want to change the appearance of your vinyl record player: wood finish, matt finish, glossy finish\u2026 Up to you and your tastes!<\/p>\n

\"Customized<\/p>\n

Before customizing a turntable, know that this requires precision work and specific technical skills.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How was the Pro-Ject 6-Perspex turntable customized?<\/h2>\n

The most characteristic part of the Pro-Ject 6-Perspex SB turntable<\/strong> is certainly its transparent acrylic plinth! To give it a completely new look, a bit more \u201cvintage\u201d, our technicians replaced the plinth of the turntable with a double bonded beechwood plinth. This base has been made according to the same dimensions as the original acrylic plinth.<\/p>\n

\"Customized<\/p>\n

The different places housing the Pro-Ject 9CC Evolution tonearm<\/a>, SB motor, or repulsive magnets feet have also been cut in this new plinth to be able to reassemble these components.<\/p>\n

\"Customized<\/p>\n
