Note the bottom cutout in this wall rack. This enables suspension adjustment of the Thorens - and other suspended design turntables - while standing upright and leveled.

Bushman's notes on the wall mount:
"The rack is constructed
from a locally indigenous wood, Kiaat. I used techniques like biscuit
joining and traditional wood joining techniques to form a strong and
rigid frame. The frame fits onto the wall with three bolts. From the
bottom view one can see the 45 degree inserts into the four corners.
Reason for these is to strengthen the corners and secondly to add
support for the top plate. The top plate is cut from super wood, a high
density type press wood. Between the top plate and the corner supports
is a rubber foot in each corner. The rubber I considered to be a good
isolator. The rubber feet are the only contact points to the frame. Does
it work ? Most definitely, one can hear a distinct difference when the
turntable is moved from the top of the hi-fi stand to the rack. It is
like a picture, the moment you move it to the rack the focus is 100%.
The rack also benefits bass focus and definition."
