Well, I think a good day was had by all, I'm certainly happy to be taking my tt home and I'm pretty certain martin is a happy chappy!
Thank you to you and yours for your hospitality as well as help and service with the tt Dave! I'm pretty certain I got a excelent deal and do apreciate your understanding with matters of insurance!!
I will let you, Martin lead the way as to where you would like my photos, in here or else where? ... I need to get home and get them off the camera yet of course...
My thanks to Dave for his patience, encyclopedic knowledge and good cheer. My special thanks to Jill for keeping us boys fed with coffee, tea & biccies. And Hamish, it was good to meet you and chat incessantly about interesting things without fear of a telling off from our better halves.
Photos first, words later. Shall I just say that the DV is all setup, aligned and playing right now? I have formed a first impression but will write later.
The Dynavector headshell is quite weighty but beautifully made and offers the lowest platform from top of cartridge to record surface - important as you will see.

AT33PTG looking like it was made to go in the 507. We could only get the VTA set correctly by adding a Copper mat underneath the Herbies, so that is now part of the package.

Showing the extremely low clearance between the VTA adjustment lever (fixed) and top plate, also the small gap between the rear block (moving) and top plate.

You want the piccys in this thread matey?... I'm just pulling into Worcester now... I'm bloody shattered!
Hamish, you took some excellent shots - care to add them here?
Dare I say the first thing I thought when I saw the pics was Skoda with Ferrari alloys lol.
Only kidding, it looks pretty good.
Hamish, be careful or you'll end up like my mate who buys pieces of hifi and then has to hide them from the other half! Either that or hope that she doesn't notice it!
Looking good Martin!
Early days yet, but would be most interested to hear how the Dynavector performs vis a vis your previous arm (Jelco?)
I'm hoping of course that you will eventually decide that you don't like it, so you can sell it on to me! :lol:
Yours in envy
Martin, il add them on tomorrow I'm shattered mate!
Paul, it's all good, hannah knows everything I buy she even lent me the money for my last perchace! I can't lie to her for some reason, she asks me how much things have cost, I have even tried to fib in the past but as soon as I open my mouth the truth just pops out ... I guess that's probably a good thing!
Looking forward to getting some music out the tt with my new cart arm and feet, but I'm gonna have to wait until thursday evening as Anthony is lending me a sut that shall land here thursday ... I might borrow a project pre from work ... But I'm thinking I might wait til I got the kit I'm gonna use for a while so I get the full hit!

Great shots, Hamish, both of Dartmouth and my arm. I'm not saying which is prettier :)
