Thanks.
Here's the finished result of a totally revamped Technics SL-1210 mkII deck.
New ebony armboard, new Mike New bearing fitted, new Mike New platter fitted, new Furutech mains cable / Furutech plug / Furutech tonearm / Furutech phono cable fitted.
The deck has been veneered in striped ebony veneer, all the controls converted to ebony, all lights disabled.
The pitch slider was retained but the knob is now ebony :)
I even made an ebony 45rpm single record adapter.
I fitted a new SME309 arm and setup the arm and Transfiguration Proteus cart up and performed listening tests to get it spot on.
It's been a fun project and the proud owner is very happy indeed. More on that later.
Some pics and a couple whilst listening.

Customer pics of the recent Ebony armboard I made for his Technics SL-120 deck and Alphason HR100s tonearm.
He's based on Hong Kong and wrote "I am very happy to own it."
