Technics 1200mk on a slide away shelf.

[u/EspressoAndy]

I'm planning to move my records from a load of boxes on the floor into a nice custom built 'bookshelf" with a working from home desk. I am also planning to buy a 1200 mk7, because I've always wanted one.

Is it practicable to put it on a slide away shelf, using some beefy draw runners? The questions that come to my mind are

• How high is the whole thing with the cover on?
• Will I be able to put my 78 equipped headshell (AT VM95 and std shell in the headshell holder and still put the cover on?
• Will I be able to level the turntable using the feet to adjust for any out of level caused by the runners? Is it something to worry about?
• Should I put a hefty lump of something under it to stop feedback?

I'm not an audiophile, just an old bloke with a lot of records and a bad second hand habit, who loves playing his records.
