    mid century modern L-65

    My wife loves mid century modern. I have a bunch of L-65s I am not using so I decided to look for aluminum spindle legs like the Baron and white with gold fleck grill cloth and perhaps ivory marble for the tops. I have seen the legs go though Ebay but I am sure somebody has had some turned. I like the white cloth on an old pair of L-33s any ideas on the cloth? Anybody have any ideas?

    Salamander (cabinets) has some that are similar... I think that's been noted here before.

    then there's these: http://www.tablelegsonline.com/sedon...e-2-35901.html

    Here is an active auction for JBL re-pro legs. A pit pricey, but they're done well.

    I believe the original spun/tapered legs were Herman Miller style and got real pricey. I also recall BMWCCA
    or someone had mentioned IKEA carried some thing that was quite similar but extremely affordable ...

    I did a google and found a pretty extensive thread at AudioKarma on this topic ...

    These legs are pretty cool and VERY affordable ($8 each?)
    AK's Zonker92 used them on his C36 Cabinets
