Note: The above mechanical drawings were created In order to construct a custom plinth for the SP10. The factory service manual was consulted as was an actual SP10 from which measurements were taken. Thanks to JAS (webmaster) at The Vinyl Engine for his very useful help in this project. Btw, check out the library at The Vinyl Engine for an extensive selection of user manuals and service manuals for both turntables and tonearms of various different makes.
