ITEM DESCRIPTION
Get your vintage Pioneer turntable off its belly and back on its feet with these original equipment inspired replicas! Designed to look like the original feet. However, instead of outdated rubber and springs for isolation, these replicas are designed with a Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) core! TPU is rubbery and flexible and can return to its original shape after being deformed. This makes it ideal for turntable suspension and vibration reduction.
A little background... I'm a vintage electronics guy and personally own a Pioneer PL-518 along with other Pioneer gear like the SA-8500 II (integrated amp), the SG-9500 (equalizer), RT-707 and RT-909 (reel to reel tape decks). The problem with my PL-518 was that the rubber support for the feet had rotted out a long time ago (couldn't even find the springs) and being tired of my low riding turntable (not to mentioned the scratches on my table due to the protruding screws on the bottom of the pan). I ordered some replacement feet but was underwhelmed. They didn't match the style or elevate the turntable to the same height as the originals and just didn't seem to have that 'wow' factor. So, I designed my own.
This is my second version with a new and improved core of TPU printed in a 3D honeycomb pattern giving these feet excellent spring and vibration absorption qualities.
MADE IN THE USA!
Design and manufactured in Largo, Florida.
COMPATIBILITY
Based on my research these feet would be a direct replica replacement for the following Pioneer turntable models:
PL-512
PL-514
PL-516
PL-518
PL-540
PL-560
They'll likely work for other turntable manufacturers and models as well. See photos for dimensions to determine compatibility. If you have any questions, please ask!
WHATS INCLUDED
4 - Replica Feet
4 - Stainless steel screws (for use if original screws are missing)
The turntable shown in the photos is not included (its my personal PL-518).
All items described above are mounted on a custom shipping tray and carefully packed to ensure safe shipping and arrival.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove old feet parts and screws.
2. Remove new feet from the shipping tray.
2. Remove the stems from the feet and attach them with either the existing or provided screws into the existing holes in the bottom of the plinth.
3. Attached the feet to the stems. Note, the fit is snug but are intended to be a bit loose to allow for movement and minimize contact with the core.
4. Stand back and observe your turntable returned to its original glory!
