Hi Can anyone tell me the weight of the genuine Mantra Glass Platter as when I got mine a few years back it didn't have a platter, but then I only paid £5 for it at an auction in full working order, just needing a clean so I can't complain!
I fitted an acrilc platter and graphite rubber mat to it when I first got it which weighs 860 grams but I have now got another glass platter from another turntable which fits and this weighs 1636 grams so quite a bit more.
I leveled the chassis up for the acrilic platter when I got it and really want to know if anyone has any knowlwdge of which is best before I reset the chassis up the the new glass platter and then find it doesn't sound as good then have to go and reset it again for the acrilic one!
I have now fitted a Origin Live motor kit to it to go with the existing Roksan Tabriz arm and Audio Technica AT33PTG Dual MC cartridge.
Many Thanks, Alan |

Alan,
I've just joined this forum and have a totally original and untouched 1987 Mantra. I'll weigh the platter tonight and post the result here. |

Alan,
According to the average of several goes on my wife's seemingly indecisive kitchen scales, the glass platter (without felt mat) weighs 2050g or thereabouts. Sorry I can't be more precise due to crap technology ...
Cheers, Gavin |
