What turntables do you use? Pictures would be nice as well :-)

Technics SP10 mk2a with Reed 3Q and 3P tonearms.
Thanks Christian. The trim is birdseye maple. The plinth is made out of 3 layers of 1.5" maple butcher block with layers of cork in between. Right arm board is 2 1" thick stainless steel plates with a layer of copper in between. I'm using Stillpoint Ultra SS for feet on an EquaRack stand.
Looks and I bet sounds great. Time for me to sign out and put the AF1 under more tests. Ray Brown Soular Energy 45 rpm may be a good start for the evening.
Wow, no wonder some people are so passionate about spinning records on their gorgeous turntables. ...She's a beauty!
I think you missed a pair of monos - the Wavacs.. or better yet, share some pictures here at WBF
I decided to stain the top and put a clear coat on it this week. Looks a little better now.
Sean, I haven't really been following this thread but that is absolutely gorgeous! Who made the plinth? And what's up with the copper platter? And finally, are the Stillpoints underneath the top surface of the plinth or connected to the base where it interfaces with your rack?I decided to stain the top and put a clear coat on it this week. Looks a little better now.

Sorry for the questions- as you may remember I still have my old Sp-10 (albeit a Mk 1) that I bought new, back in the day, and think about using an upgraded mkII as a second table. Very nice work.
Thanks Bill, I built the plinth a little over a year ago. I got some helpful advise from a friend that builds his own turntables and plinths for Technics, Garrard, and I think even Lenco's. He helped steer me in the right direction for what type of materials to build it out of. I also consulted with him on how I was going to build it. I just finally got around to putting a finish on it.
The platter mat is a Micro Seiki Cu-180. It's kind of rare but known to be a good match with the SP10. The Stillpoint's feet are under the plinth between the plinth and rack. You can't see them from the angle I took the pictures.

cool. bet it rocks. I haven't run my SP-10 in 20 years and the mk 1 is nowhere near the later ones in performance. I do use it to spin records to dry clean them before I wet clean them before I put them in the ultrasonic, if that makes any sense.
