smwalsh6 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Probably a long shot, but figured I'd ask and see if I could give someone here my money instead of acrylteller. Ajxd maybe? Anybody? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajxd Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Never went for the acrylic platter. There's a German (I think) manufactuerer... but it was about $200 I think. Way too much for plastic. I was satisified with the stock platter. If you want some help with static? Acrylic mat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenh Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Get one made. I searched ebay for acrylic machine shops and people that make things like displays and cake stands out of acrylic. I found a load over here and all were able to do something for me for a reasonable price. I'm having quite a complex 2 part one off made up for the turntable I built and it will cost me roughly £70 ($110) so a simple single piece one should cost around $50 to $90 I expect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smwalsh6 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Right on, just figured I'd ask. I'm not having static issues or anything, just bored I guess. I found an acrylic shop locally that makes acrylic awards or trophies or some shit. Might give that a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmEff Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Please be sure to followup if you get one made. I've also got an RPM 1.3 but haven't decided I want to splurge for $250 for the German one. I wouldn't begin to know where to find a place locally that could make one for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarondltd Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I saw some nice pictures of a glass platter a guy had done at a local glass place and it looks great. I may consider it if I get a table worthy of such an upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smwalsh6 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Finally had a local shop call me back. 230 bucks. Soooo...nevermind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smwalsh6 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Nope. I'm telling you, acrylic mat. I already got one. Was really surprised that it seemed to tighten the bass response a bit. Whenever I read that stuff I'm usually kind of skeptical but I noticed an immediate difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmmEff Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I found a couple of local companies locally that work with acrylic, so the option of getting a platter made is once again on the table (no pun intended). I am going to contact them and see what the cost might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
