Hi Gents
I'm in the middle of a house re vamp and now have started on my once Dining Room. It did always house my Hi-fi and lots of DJ record boxes for my 7" vinyl collection. Finally going from Beige and Brown a la' 1980's to a more modern Black, Grey colour scheme.
I'm excited for the change but my pride of place goes to my Linn Sondek. Unfortunately it is in the classic Afromosia Teak colour, complete with fluted sides. It just sticks out like a Blind Cobblers Thumb. What to do with it though? A new Plinth is around £550/£1000 depending on who's you buy and in what finish, then there is the dismantle of the deck and fitting the new Plinth plus associated re set of the Linn. I'm heading for a hefty bill. I could buy a cheaper deck but the Linn was a boyhood dream for me as a skint 16 yr old, I always wanted one and grafted to get one.
If I painted it, I'm entering a World of pain, devaluing it and possibly ruining it due to the finish on the wood. It may react and not take. No painting is out.
A few years ago I Vinyl wrapped my speakers with great success.
Quality automotive vinyl is great stuff, it doesn't bubble and it is just sticky enough to stay put but can still be peeled off without causing damage, anyway, I'll be dead before I change my deck so it's only a problem if I am diagnosed with something nasty then I'll frantically sell everything I have in order to fund a massive hedonistic lifestyle until I croak.
If you haven't nodded off, which is a distinct possibility then here she is, vinyl wrapped in a matching satin Black vinyl. I think it looks O.K. Hope you Guys agree?
