Thanks guys.
I have lots of nice wood for spacers and armboards:)
Here's the latest one
An Ebony armboard for a Clearaudio Performance SE deck.
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.

Steve,
I am asking here as I am sure other people would like to know. How much are the ebony cartridge spacers?
How heavy are the versions you offer?

Hi,
CageyH,
I do them for £12 each + postage.
Any thickness you specify.
Mass depends on the thickness. 3mm would be around 0.7g.
Density wise. Ebony density is 0.98g/cm3. In comparison Birch is 0.5, oak 0.7. Delrin is 1.42g/cm3
Regards,
Steve

Audio Technical ATP-12t arm lift and rest holder and extra heavy counterweight
The brief was to make a armlift and rest holder to fit the lovely ATP-12t (a 10.5 inch arm), this time it had to be as short as possible to allow maximum range / travel of the arm tube slider weight.
Hewn and then fine milled out of 6mm plate Stainless Steel and then polished to match the arm / the chromed Jelco armlift that was was supplied to match.
Both the arm lift and rest are height adjustable the latter also position adjustable.

Here's how it started off, once cut to size the holes required are drilled / machined.

Here is the armlift and rest holder, and the extra heavy counterweight for the AT arm that I recently made, in place and working nicely on the customers deck in Singapore.
Looks the part. Rather more secure than hand cueing :)
