Technics SL-1200 Armboards - A Preview

[Ammonite Audio]

Here’s a sneak preview of our new Ammonite Audio CNC-machined modular arm boards for Technics SL-1200 turntables, including old SL-1200/1210s as well as the new SL-1200GAE, SL-1200G and SL-1200GR. Read more details at https://ammonite-audio.co.uk/new-mod...00-turntables/

Here are some photos. Please note that the parts have not yet been anodised - they will be finished in bright silver and satin black.

Thanks for the kind words. It’s taken quite a while to get the design this far, and although there are a couple of detail changes needed before full production begins, I’m very pleased with it. The decision to keep all fixings hidden has made life much more complicated (particularly with regard to the SL-1200GR) but I feel the effort will be worthwhile.

An update on my new Technics SL-1200/1210 modular CNC alloy armboards. I am close to finishing the minor design revisions, but my fabricator is stacked out with work and this means the armboards won't be available until the New Year.

Here is a snap of the bright silver anodised armboard, fitted to a new SL-1200GR turntable, and with a brand new Jelco TK-850S knife-edge bearing tonearm:




And here is the SME version of the bright silver board:

That does look like a quality job between the designer and the manufacturer

Nice
