Quite a few of the KD-500 turntables sported a Platter Matter mat that was slightly heavier than the stock Kenwood mat. I'v had the bottom off my KD-500 and by the looks of it I'd say it's plywood and all in all the base IMO isn't resonant. I'd give it a good listen before doing anything to the underside of the platter, the Platter Matter mat seemed to do the trick without overdamping the table. Probably where your going to get the biggest return is with the tonearm and cartridge. The KD-500 sported some of the better tonearms available at the time, Infinity Black Widow, Grace 707, Sumiko MMT, SME 3009, ADC etc with many fine period cartridges.
