Hi Steve,Agree, with regard to the plinth. Agree especially on the pedestal, re the "tippy" analysis. But I'm not sure that filling a big hollow box with something heavy like sand goes a long way toward a fix.
Even with Beltdrives (and their small motor & 'ahem' mid-drive-train compliance) the idea of Taller-than-it-is-wide just doesn't suit a very heavy machine that revolves it's heaviest part.
At the risk of being doctrinaire, and especially for Idlers (which add a heavy, high-torque motor to the above top-heavy mix) it seems to me that Wider-than-it-is-tall is hard to argue with in terms of table, plinth, shelf and support.
And notwithstanding a back-breaking low-to-the-floor turntable position, that almost always points to wallshelf, or at least a low & wide rack .....
Without too much of a stretch, comparison of the "ride" of a wide, low Lamborghini to that of, say, a Greyhound Bus ---supports the idea. Okay, that is something of a stretch, but that's the cartoon version of the discussion here, so it's gotta be true.
