YouTube is not very high resolution you know.
I believe the arm is a prototype.

Yes the arm is in prototype form at the mo. Very good arm indeed. Suits mid to low compliance carts a treat. There is also a 9" version available.
Let me know if anyone is interested in these.

Nice arm/table/cart combo; but... ...ummmmm... that bird video is freakin' cool !!! Who says man and nature can't get along !?!? Major props for having a heart.
Oh, and how do you get on with the Hawthorne's?
Lyrics are the ramblings of man, sometimes inspired by The Creator, most often, not.
But music (melodies, harmonies, rhythms), that's God stuff.
Always was. Always will be.
One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.
