We great minds must think alike! ;-)

Interesting. I was thinking of having the layers vertical so that they form a wall of different materials between the motor and arm base. A twelve inch arm would help of course. Bolt the deck into a ply top layer with progressively heavier layers beneath. Glued onto the side would be thin layers of mdf, acrylic, and then slate. That would make it hard for sound to get across to the arm since the materials would be progressively denser in that direction. An enclosed cavity in each of the layers towards the arm would reduce surface area of contact while maintaining torsional rigidity. A plan is coming together.
Thanks to YNWOAN I have just seen that my gay picnic plinth has ended up on a poster of historic or interesting turntables:

Although he didn't ask for my permission before using the image, the publisher of the poster has done the decent thing and offered me a very reasonable fee for the usage.
How lucky were you, do you have a spare mat
wow talk about an amazing find. I used to have a 401 with the fixed head shell sme 3009 and it sounded amazing.
Sonddek - Do you find that you have to play some music on a particular deck, just because it seems 'right'? If so, let's have an example.
I know for a fact that I would. It would be like wearing the right clothes for wherever you were going.
