$650+ exact shipping cost. Moving overseas and selling everthing. Figured I'd list it here before putting it on eBay. This is a Scheu bearing and 40mm platter mated to diy cocobolo and 360 brass base. The bearing is a known commodity, tight tolerance inverted style made famous by Scheu. The base was based on a Scheu table I owned that used steel rods threaded through acrylic. This cocobolo and brass version is heavier and sounds much better. Weighs about 17.5lbs. The table this was based on, The Eurokit 2001 was reviewed well by Art Dudley in Listener.
The fit and finish has some diy quirks (see pics) and the threaded inserts stick out a bit. There is a chip that can be seen in the pic. I had it on three Stillpoints Ultras (not included) and the sound was excellent. The hole is cut for a Rega, but the distance between the arm board and the top of platter is 52mm, so you need to make up the distance. Origin Live sells a sliding VTA adjuster for Rega arms that does that perfectly. I had it that way on the other deck and I kept it on this one so that I could experiment with different arms by making simple discs and mounting them to the base. The pivot to spindle distance is variable by moving the arm pod on the brass sliders. Butcher block not included.
The motor pod is from Scheu and is DC, platter driven with thread for isolation. Scheu currently sells a table called the Cello Classic for $3899 that uses this bearing and a thinner, 30mm version of the same platter. Weight is roughly the same. This table hangs with the modern Scheu lineup sonically. Same bearing.

Thanks, I just spec'd it and took it too a CNC shop. It sounds great though. I'm guessing it will end up on eBay at some point.
