Rack on the left is for sale.
Granite surface plate + Machinist stand + MDF shelves.
I bought the first 2 items from Grizzly; the small MDF rack that fits inside is DIY.
A fresh coat of flat black paint is a nice improvement on the stock industrial gray paint.
The surface plate is 3.25 inches thick and weighs 154 lbs.
With the stand, the whole thing well exceeds 250 lbs.
Very flat, and easy to level.
Granite mass + rigidity makes a great platform for your turntable.
It will really sing, especially non-sprung ones!
* top shelf: 18 deep x 24 wide x 36 high
* lower shelves: 16 deep x 20 wide
* usable shelf height, top to bottom: 4.5", 8", 8"
* there is also 8" of usable space between the floor and bottom shelf
* heavy duty leveler feet with felt pads to protect floors

But they bulk ship to a local warehouse, sometimes located inconveniently with inconvenient hours. You need to pick it up and then assemble it. Then you need to deal with the ugly industrial gray paint. Condition of mine is as new, it is already assembled, and the fresh paint makes it more attractive than stock. Save the hassle and some $$, and buy a nicer one here!
With the inside MDF stand .......$150
Without it .............................$120
Very sturdy, rigid and heavy, so local pickup only.
Long Beach, LI 11561.
You can verify my perfect feedback under "spelly" on AudioGon, and "nyctoobluvr" on EBay.
NOTE: Small MDF stand on the right is also available. Make offer.
