Yes, sometimes you do wonder where these bits will go...:)

The original armboard for the lead filled stand alone arm pod I supplied was for a Fidelity Research FR64s arm.
It had to be shallow as the arm is quite high and there was not a lot of height overall to play with.

The Schick 12" arm is much lower so a thicker solid ebony armboard could be fitted.

Test mounted on the pod

Here's a little job for germbox

He was looking to balance a DL103 and heavy AT headshell and also needed spacers to get the VTA right.

I made him a 142g Stainless steel counterweight and headshell to cartridge spacers in ebony at 3.5mm and 4.5mm thick.
In the Post to the USA.


Be interesting to hear how they get on.

An interesting project this one.
A recessed top board to fit in the Clearaudio armboard hole, with SME fitting.
A sandwich arrangement to clamp the board in place, sandwiching the plinth.

The lower clamping ring is C shaped to allow the large right angled arm plug used to clear even on a low arm setting.

It's off to Mexico with this one.

Designed by me to have the same internal horn areas but occupy much less floor width these are proving popular.

I have an armboard special for a Black Widow arm to finish making and then it's off to the Mississippi USA with them both.
