My two main goals were: 1) find screw caps that looked amazing; and 2) find caps that could be used with the STOCK screws. In terms of fulfilling the first goal, it was much harder than I expected. Having the right material and finish was key. These are stainless steel with a brushed finish that looks amazing in all light. All the screw caps I'd sourced before were either NOT stainless steel or did not have the same high quality finish. These have both! In terms 0f screw caps that fit the original screws, that was important to me because I wanted the swap to be as easy as possible for customers. If you begin having to change out the original Thorens screws, you risk damage to the corner blocks, which are obviously key to the integrity of the plinth. Replacement is simple. Use a very small flat bladed screw driver to "catch" the edge of the existing screw cover and remove it. Start in the back, so you can get the hang of itCompletely unscrew one screw at a time. Remove the original metal washer (if present) and replace with the brass cap bottom. Reinstall the screw. Carefully thread the screw cap onto the brass bottomProceed to next screwTurntable in the photos is NOT included.
