The completed item. This one has extra height adjustment range via the long extending feet.
I will be making different armboards for the customer in due course to accommodate other arms.

Three jobs for a customer in London
Next up a range of projects for a customer in London.
This armbase had seen some wear with the arm pillar retaining screw thread stripped.
The original solution was not ideal.
I made a new slightly bigger thread for a grub screw, a second one to beef it up and a third grub screw to properly retain the outer collar.
Should be good for years to come now.

Lastly, a rework of the recent armboard I made.
The tail turned out to be too long. I shortened it to fit. No charge.
The customer had tried to enlarge the SME slot to take a different armbase.
I refurbed it to improve the looks and function with a slight slot for adjustment
Restored

With larger slot. The SME armbase will still fit of course and cover the hole nicely.

Ebony armboard for a Nakamichi deck and Alphason HR-100 MCS arm
This one is a 15mm thick disc armboard in ebony for a Nakamichi Turntable and Alphason HR-100 MCS arm.
The customer supplied a template, shown overlaying the actual armboard.
The last shot is of it all mounted up on the customer deck.

Make over for a Heybrook TT2, ebony armboard, ebony spacer extra heavy CW
Here is a bit of a make over and fix up project for a Heybrook TT2 turntable.
First a new solid ebony armboard, 18mm thick with the 4 mounting points.
Fitting is a Rega RB arm.

These turntables originally suffered from a well documented problem of the armboard mounting area not being level with the platter.
I carefully shimmed the armboard so that it was perfectly true to the platter in all planes.
Ready to go.
