Here's a pic of my current Gates CB-77 project. I've gone through the whole deck and cleaned, adjusted and lubed everything. The plinth is Douglas Fir with a mahogany removable tonearm mounting block. The arm is a Schick 12" and the headshell is a new design made of slate by Oswalds Mill. For now I'm using a Rubato copper mat. All that's left is to mount and set the cartridge. 1st on deck is a Zu-DL103. That's all for now gotta finish it up and hear it sing.

I like the looks!!!

I do see the crack on the right side. Just for anyone else, doing projects in the future: This crack occured becasue wood expands across grain but not in length as moisture increases. You can usually get away with a few inch of cross grain gluing, but not much more. This fact can also tear apart joins. Makes woodworking more interesting than it would seem.

That looks beautiful - very impressive work.

Do you have a shot with the artwork on the wall? It's looks very interesting from the little bit we can see.
