    Default Latest projects, Armpod, AT arm lift, Tube amp cage, brass weight

    First up is an armpod all in black to match its surroundings.
    This one was not as tall as the others so it can be used on a standard height plinth / platter turntable. The cast lead filling means it is plenty
    heavy enough to not be moving.
    Ebony armboard (of course) and black lacquered steel tube body. Feet also in black and smooth this time,

    The arm to be fitted is a Rega RB303.









    A one-off this one - a cage to keep little fingers away from
    hot KT88 tubes. Welded steel construction with wire mesh fitted.
    Carefully done so there are no sharp edges.
    This took a bit of prototyping to get solid.





    Here's a brass balancing weight for a tonearm.
