Sure no problem! :)

I'll probably meet with my carpenter friend soon to work on another turntable project (not a guitar type this time) as I receive already a new order.

Now, I need to find someone who can build a plexiglass platter :D

Last night I put the turntable on spikes and WOW what a massive difference in sound quality ! I didn't expect such a cool improvement :)
