Decca Super Gold on a Nottingham Ace Space 12" arm

[Gibo69]

Hello,
Anybody that has the Ace Space 12" arm can help me ?
If you want to mount a Decca Super Gold on the Ace Space 12" arm, will you go with the Decca pod or without ?
Thanks

Decca Pod makes a big improvement if the arm can take it. The Notts arms were designed for Decca and Pods.

Thanks Dave, so I should go with the Decca pod, right ?

[hifi_dave]

Definitely. A very similar Pod was invented by Notts some 40 years ago for use with their arms. I still use them.

Thanks Dave, very helpful.

I sold a new, unused GB Deccapod on E-Bay just before Christmas for £20, after getting no interest here.

Dave, can you confirm that the pod can only be fitted and removed from the cart at the factory?

[hifi_dave]

Not sure about the Latest but the original Notts version was a tight, slide on fit once the lid was removed. Well thought out. The GB Clamp I had was bolted on with 2 x grub screws and could be done by the user but care is needed not to over tighten. I believe the latest is similar, maybe the same.

Yes - I kicked myself for not having seen it for sale!

I've listed quite a few items on here at very low prices and had no interest at all. Those same items have all sold for much more on E-Bay.
