Thanks, Steve. I can't wait to get my baby home :)

Mine's being made at this point of posting. Linn geometry to fit my Ekos AO modified, silver wire (Kondo), damping and tagging from cartridge pins to SME pillar fitting for arm cable. Steve said that my arm plate and yours have come from the same lump of ebony so in a way I quess our 1210s are related :)Quote:

Please, someone don't tell me that an armboard made from Ivory (not allowed!) would sound better still as I beginning to collect as many arm boards as t/table mats, Bren reckons I've developed a fetish :eyebrows:

I believe I held your piece of ebony in my hand. It's solid, wieldy stuff.Quote:

Actually separate lumps but might be same tree, as I can only get one board out of one piece due to the way I hold the piece for turning work.
They are very solid indeed.
Yup, I can see where you're at Steve, can't wait to get mine :) Any idea when I should receive my ebony?Quote:

Hi Ron,
How's it going, matey? Hope you had a nice Christmas and New Year :)
Nice one on the ebony armboard - you won't regret it! How's the MN platter doing - have you fitted it yet? :cool:
Marco.
Yours is looking fab, Martin! :stalks:
Can't wait to hear what you think when you have a listen :D
Marco.
Martin picked his up this evening and then we hit the horns for a while.
I have to do some family duties now but might finish it later this evening or def tomorrow.
BR
Steve

The two Acromats have their total flat sides bonded together giving one area without air gaps. Sounds bloody marvellous and possibly the best of both worlds, hybrid MN/Funk platter. Believe it that the MN platter MUST have the combination of MN bearing fitted to the MN base plate (six securing bearing screws on flange) then gasket compound to the Techy deck with gasket compound and then bolted down with five flanged locking nuts (miltatary spec). My deck sits on a Townshend Seismic sink (bellows<spring) and I have dispensed with the Isonoes in favour of Origin Live rubber feet with this total combination, as it stands, IT NOW BEATS MY LP12 which is no slouch. Have taken pictures but just can't get the hang of posting 'em.... don't have a black belt, 5th dan in computerjitsu combat. Better at the mechanical side of things :doh:Quote:

Seriously, glad you've got your Techie sounding fantastic Ron. So much less faff once it's done :)
