Hi Jeremy,
as both imaging facilty technician and turntable fanatic I can say that air based
anti-vibration solutions are among ther best solutions in case of low budget DIY
projects.
As a suggestion I would use 3 small tubes (like those ones used in kids bikes)
rather than 1 large, so that it would be simpler to adjust the planarity of the
system
Moreover you could improve the result by placing everything on top of a
vibrations killing base that you could build yourself, like this one:

vibrations, but you will have to pay particular attention in protecting your
instrument from the contact with the material used.
My two cents
