There's been lots of "Breakthrough"? Devices like this over the years, I'm not too sure regarding these claims.Although interstingly I read the Technics SL 1210 Mk5G Base is Apparantly Made of Some kind of Thick Rubber?

this is basically the ashtray/rubberband suspension thing, and yes it works...i use my own variation of this, but unstead of ashtrays, i use pvc pipe couplers...i thing gary stewart and some other nyc installers use this also...

i was JUST about to ask what the alternative is, as this seems like a very simple invention - but very necessary...

In a pinch, we sometimes use clear packaging tape rolls and heavy rubberbands. Freefloat is also an option...

don't want to sound ignorant, here but could anybody explain how to set this up. With the ash trays?
Cheers.

Place the band across any object with a decent dip or hole , ashtrays, pipes etc

Place band around the object so they go across the middle of the dip/hole , keep doing this in a criss cross fashion until there is a covering of dip/hole until it has enough flexitasity (made up word) to support a deck.

I'm trying to remember the inscructions

'Flextasity'... i'll have to remember that, sir. I will file it next to the word 'stummy'. I can't wait to use it!

Cielo and a few other spots use what look like raquet balls... 1 for each corner, with a board on top, and bricks on top of that, the the deck on top of the bricks (1 brick for each leg)... Works great!

My question is how are the raquel balls staying in place to the main board below it, are they glued?

Chris, you might know the answer to that one...

Keep in mind that rubber bands dry out, among other things. Use wisely and at the same time find an alternative.

People do use either tennis balls or racquet balls that are cut/split in half and placed under the turntables.

very true david, in the winter, when the heat is on a lot, they dry out quicker and snap...
