Hi folks,
After getting some prices for having an ebony tonearm board made for my AR turntable,i thought id make my own.The original was 6mm mdf,we can do better!!
Here's the blank cut to shape and drilled ready for tonearm hole to be drilled.

Next up and the blank is fitted to the sub chassis and carefully measured for hole to be drilled. I decided to go for 219.5 from the spindle in order to still use the baerwald alignment.
