Just to let all you SL-1210 and 1200 fans know that I have obtained a test mounting deck to make armboard making easier / not requiring your deck in front of me to make armboards.
Decks that have not been converted to after market armboards do of course need modding. Rivnuts is the usual or I can make up steel blind nut inserts as I did for Marco's deck. These can be fitted easily (they just slot in) once the original arm is removed. They also have much tougher threads being of steel.
I do still of course need to know the arm base height relative to the platter, the spindle to pivot distance for the arm as well as the mounting hole or slot dimensions - best source for these is the arm manufacturers template. Of course having the arm to test mount is even better.
A wide range of Hardwoods can be used. Ebony and African blackwood best matching the SL-1210 of course.
For SL-1200's a matching silver lacquer spray finish can be applied.
Drop me a line to discuss as every installation is unique.
