    Default Motor pod




    the motor pod has been altered with a new foot and a spacer to give a weight of about 3kg ,
    there are 2 spiders below the normal plinth ?base with decoupled delrin spacers and the spiders have been decoupled by 1.5mm rubber sheet ,

    all the spiders and the base are Orbe, as the gyro one has 3 screwholes less which the pointed grub screws go through , the whole plint/bas is off an orbe and it still closes with 2 spiders in the inside, the base is 36mm+thick ,the main spiders are 24mm thick and have been laminated together all the bolst are nylon

    Made a little tweak over the Xmas holiday - found some old skateboard wheels in the garage and thought I would see if any improvement with the Orbe could be made - seems to tighten the bass slightly and the noise floor also seems to have dropped - will keep on playing

    Default sketeboard feet

    Well with the cost of new feet being about £30-£40 , i have knocked these up with the idea of the Skateboard wheels, and 3 20mm long x the diameter of the hole in the wheels , and M6 nylon bolts , cost is £5 for the wheels and £2.50 p for the spacers ,£1 for the bolts , less than £10 and they will also stop the deck from moving ,[IMG][url]https://66lr3g-db3pap001.files.1drv.com

This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    to stop the deck from moving it is worthwhile, but i have not run the deck yet , as this version has a missing spider , so the top part is sitting on 3x 40mm M6 pointed grub screws , because i have taken it out of the full case,

    well it is upand running , and sounds better then ever i thought i had a problem with too much base , but doing this has tightened the base up so you can hear every note the voicing is now spot on ,
    it maksat out of the case ,but i doubt it as i cannot use the sweep arm , with out having a stand made , but the feet seem to have changed the base notes ,not sure how ,voicing is clear and toe tapping music ,
