Not sure you can Bob - new members have to wait for that particular special power, I think. Before you are endowed with such fortune, you need to introduce yourself to the natives and comply with one or two other teeny-weeny formalities.

To the Welcome area with you, my man!
Here are some clues:

Are you talking about the recessed Sound Supports armboard like this one?

The new collar will fit any Jelco armboard, but as you can see from this picture that Hamish sent me of his 250ST on a flat armboard, you may not get the arm to go low enough unless the middle of the board is recessed by 5mm or more. Check that you have at least 5mm between the top of the Jelco collar and the bottom of the armrest plate.

I shall be taking some of these collars up to the London Bake-Off Show tomorrow.

Great that you got the collars :).

PM sent.

Hello,
Great idea!
I'd be interested in a new Jelco collar if you have any left?

Collars have been sent out today, by Royal Mail Special Delivery to:

Gthang
Selfaddict
Dalek Supreme DL
Marco
Puresound

You have all received PMs with the tracking numbers.

I'm waiting for payment for 2 further collars, and if ColinB still wants one, that leaves only one collar left.

Hi Shuggs, there is a demand, I desperately need one, seriously, how much and where do I send the cheque to... maybe you could PM me?

I also have a black Ittok II and an Ekos 1. Had the Ekos given the heavy works by J7 of Audio Origami.. topscale silver wiring, damping of arm tube, and decoupled gold plated counter weight. I was going to use the Ittok on my 1210 but it would have meant drilling a hole for the arm rest, as per Linn armboard, but could see probs on that one so bought a second hand Jelco750D which I now need your mod for! I will be using a Sumiko headshell but would like to trial a carbon fibre headshell? Any knowledge on this last one? The Ekos remains on my LP12 for now, but I intend trying it out on my Tekko as I'm sure it would work a treat especially as Linn arms and Jelco have more or less the same gene/DNA;)

A word of friendly advice,,, take out a registered pattern on your mod, you may not be able to go into numbers production now, but later you could do so. There is always someone who will grab your idea and stick their label on it:steam:

Just got my collar in the post. Great packing, instructions, tools, fittings and the collar itself is a beautifully made item.

All I can say at this stage is well done Hugo. I will try and find an opportunity to fit it later today.

Ditto! :)
