As I recall, the Cotter base was made specifically for the Technics SP10 turntable and wasn't usable with other turntables. It was an entire base and plinth into which one placed the SP10 motor unit. I don't think Cotter made a general purpose base or platform that could be placed under any turntable. Remember, Cotter made these things in the late '70s and early '80s, before there was much (if any) awareness of the importance of supports for audio equipment. The Cotter base was made of layers of steel and plastic I think. Audiophiles have a vast array of choices for isolation devices now, from simple rubber feet and metal cones all the way to active air suspension platforms designed for laboratory equipment.
Cotter didn't make large numbers of his products. They still sell for good money on the rare occasions when one is offered for sale.
