Hey,Hey Starboy
What a beauty. Don't ya dare let it go...! Everything is sooo right about those curves & bakelite. Be careful for the bakelite levers when you look underneath. Tip it over on a cushion when you do. If you do change the plinth, 4x70mm long stainless replica screws & nuts are yours! I had them especially made - domeheaded, countersunk & slotted.
