My 12" Bintel starts to deteriorate in the mount.
It was always too flexible for my taste and the stiffening, original EbonyStar and virgin Teflon helped but now humidity starts creeping in.

So I decided on a diet leading to a stiffer and 60% lighter mount.
From Alexander I purchased a new EbonyStar disc (due next week) and this weekend I played with 45$ worth of ply.

I will post later the base which is only 300 grams, the woodwork runs just below 6.5 kg.
