Hi Steve if I send you an old Systemdek armboard would you be able to produce something like this for me?
Here is another Jelco one bound for New Zealand this time.
Darkened African Blackwood. Supplied with fitting kit and instructions.

:youtheman::youtheman::youtheman: Steve those arm boards look amazing!
Here's a slightly difference one.
I'm grafting a 12" Audio Technica arm on to an existing plinth / Thorens 124.
The arm had no arm lift / rest mechanism so I made a polished carrier, to which I have fitted a Jelco lift and a rest from a SL-1210.
The arm mounting block that can be seen in the pics is African Blackwood shaped to fit on the back of the plinth as a 2nd arm.

More pics to follow once the plinth is ready - it's having a bit of a refurb and repaint and it will have a new ebony armboard and FR-24 tonearm fitted.
:)
Looking forward to this.
Here's the conclusion of the TD-124 two tonearm fitting project I've been working on.
The Audio Technical 12" ATP12T tonearm is a beauty - the hardwood armpod puts the spindle to pivot at the perfect 242mm distance.
It's also easy to use with the arm lift and arm rest plate that I fabricated.
I've also made an ebony armboard for to fit a Fidelity Research FR24 10" tonearm to the deck.
The plinth was gloss white and as requested I've painted and lacquered it to a matt dark grey.
I then set up both arms and tested them with my SPUs - A Royal N and Silver Meister and had a listen to check all was perfect.
I also made an extra Ebony armboard blank if someone needs one:)
Here are some pics

Keen SPU'ists will note that the AT arm really needs a heavier counterweight for SPU's - I'm not sure what cart will be used yet - Magna Audio of course specialise in customer counter weights to suit all arms.
The FR24 arm could probably do with a heavier antiskate weight too;)
Here is a set of weights (heavier antiskate), lateral and custom mass counterweight for the mighty Fidelity Research FR64s tonearm.
Made in 303 grade stainless with semi polished finish to match the arm.
I used the same sized grub screw / hex key sizes as the originals.

If you have a machining need, I'm happy to discuss.
Just to say I got the TD124 back from Steve yesterday and he's done a truly fabulous job. AT arm will be used for an SPU, FR arm (which is a cracker - really musical) not quite sure yet!
