Default Garrard 301 slate plinth
I'm going to be knocking up a 301 plinth in 40mm slate and was wondering if anyone happened to have a full size template ? I've got the dims (in inches) but it's a lot easier to use a cut out than try and scribe it all onto slate !

Happy to pay postage costs etc.

Cheers

Jonny

If you have all the dim. Jonny, you only need a staight edge, steel rule and a compass, thats how I did mine. BOB

Just be aware that slate dust is very nasty.

I had a double take on one of those links.......... MZRC, Surely not I thought. But yep. Figures though. and I never knew Phil in Cornwall was an afficionado of old decks and amps.

Get it done on a CAD programme and then it can be machined on a water jet cutter.
