Just finished plugging the top plate holes and cleaned it a bit.
I'll work out the arm mounting position later and mark and cut the hole.
Yes. The on/off switch bush has deliberately been left in place. 'Cos they're a bugger to refit and get tight again once removed.

Sussed out the arm positioning. Two arcs describing the distance from platter centre to arm pillar centre. One for FFSS and one for 774. both arms will use SME type bases (I'll make one for the FFSS). I've elongated the arm opening that would normally be used for the 774 as the FFSS is slightly shorter and will mount further forward. The position is the only one that allows both arms to be used using SME mount four bolt spacing and positioning and not have edges of the base plate overlapping the TT top plate. The arm counterweights may overlap the TT top plate a bit. Not worried about that. The plinth will be built to accomodate it.

I see. a straight line between the 2 being the slide down/up of the plate for the 2 arms.. neat.

Getting there. Arm mount hole now cut and 2mm pilot holes drilled at base plate mounting positions. These will be enlarged for tapping with threads once I've established which bolt size will suit best. Surface irregularities filled with metallic epoxy, prior to rubbing down. Will do a bit more prep before priming.
Bit more tomorrow. If it rains that may scupper painting though.
Still got to remember how to reassemble the bugger yet (should be OK).
Lots of components to clean up!

Yes. I'll be doing everything myself. I'll be using a white car body etch primer first. If that comes up OK I'll go over it with a couple of coats of the cream acrylic enamel I've chosen, then acrylic lacquer. If I can radius the bevel edge on the platter successfully (should be OK. I have a plan), that will get the same treatment.Originally Posted by brian2957

I toyed with the thought of powder coating, but it's not going to get knocked about, so that's probably overkill. After all the original finish was only one coat of thin enamel.

Of course it will Jo. I'm doing it!
Wait till you see the plinth (all just in my head at the moment).
I should add, that the platter I'm going to alter (butcher?), by radiusing the bevel is a rough spare example with dings around the outer edge so it looks crap anyway.
