There isn't nearly enough room it's a sort of pod that you place near the deck with the arm attached!

Tricky, it is. You can see it here:

Well done!

Looks funny to me. I would be happy w/ a 309 on an after market base plate, mounted in the original plinth cutout. Now that I think about it, I would be happy to upgrade from my D2 to a 1200.:)
there are 12" arms that can be fit instead of 9" - if you can get a kuzma (i think it's a linn) adapter and have around 2500E to splash, buy stogi 313. it's a 313mm arm with 212mm mounting distance....
you will have to give up on lid though

12" is twelve inches, however you measure it.
The photo disappeared so here is another one.

Clever. It'd be funny to see one of those on a 1210!
Some 6 months ago I designed a 12" adapter plate which bolts into the existing arm well of the SL1200xx and cantilevers over the back edge to occomodate a 12" arm.
This way you do not need any additional carrier.
Would this be of interest to people?? The dust cover cannot of course be used and would have to be removed. Also more shelf depth is required.
I did not proceed with this at the time as there did not appear to be a great interest in 12 inches! However with the increasing use of the new bearing and copper mats, together with the future takeup of the new platter, all of which justify the use of a longer arm. I have noticed that the interest in 12" arms has increased.
Any chance of a piccie or two please?
If you have a full plinth/plate system coming at some point in the future, a 12" adaptor would be a great halfway house I think...
