hi Steve,
i don't know if this is of any use to you but my boss at work was chucking in the skip some Phosphor bronze bushes from an old lift mechanism.they are round and have a hole in the middle,i have 6,the postage to you might be a killer though so if you are interested let me know and i'll have a measure up and tell you the sizes
Hi Jamie123,
Sorry I missed this one at the time.
Been very busy moving home and workshop from Surrey to the New Forest.
Here's the first SME style base and adjustable collar that was always destined to be chromed all finished.
Came out nicely.

I've set up the workshop now and busy making armboards and many things hifi.
Having moved house and workshop and been busy creating mostly armboards recently, it's time for an update.
Here is the latest crop.

Great work as usual, Steve! Hope the move went well, and both your good lady and you are keeping well. So where are you now - any nearer me, lol, or even further down south? :)
Marco.
Hi Marco,
:) Even further down South! Southern part of the New Forest 5 miles from the coast.
A little timeout from the many projects I have on the go for some customer feedback :-
This was for an armboard for customer in Singapore
"Hi Steve:
Finally had time to install the armboard.
Fits perfectly. Attached are some pics.
Thanks again for your wonderful product and service."
It's always nice to hear how things have gone and see the installation of the things I make in use. Getting some lovely pics of the deck and arm fitted are a bonus

Here's some feedback from the customer for the bespoke AT armlift and rest I made in polished stainless steel, and an extra heavy
counterweight too.
Steve,
Just a brief “thank you” note. I’ve been listening to the ATP-12t with the extra weight & arm rest/lift
and am very happy. I’m using Miyajima Premium Be mono cartridge in a heavy Fidelity Research FR-S/3
headshell and the combinations requires the extra weight. Mono records sound great with this.
Thanks again!

Steve,
Nice to see one of my collars there too!
Yes indeed :) I'm doing another SA-750 armboard today / tomorrow ;)Quote:

Something a little different - A WAF Najda 4 Channel DSP DAC / ADC, X/O with WaveIO USB -> I2S input.
The Najda board and WaveIO are complete but very much build into a case yourself project items. The case was CNC machined to ensure good fit and looks - Thanks to Pete and Wal for help on the case.
This one is fitted full with Burson OP-amps and a very nice OLED display..

I've lots more on the go, so watch this space.
Superb stuff as usual, Steve, although you can't beat a nice flange.... :eyebrows:
Keep up the good work!
Marco.
