Latest project
A second armpod under construction for a return customer - when one extra arm just won't do :)
Tube is prepped and 7kgs of lead cast.
These pods are super heavy and stable

Glass Fibre / Polyester resin topped for strength and stability.

Here's one I finished before Christmas..
African Blackwood armboard for the new Technics SL-1200GR deck.
The arm is an Audiomods series 5 with VTA adjustment. Rega fitting.
It is a tough fit due to the size and position of the VTA adjustment assembly.
The armboard fitting is quite different to the SL -12X0 series too.
No problem for me ;)
This is a trial fitting pic. Finishing yet to go.

Seen here alongside the original 1200 GR arm.

This one is from the customer all set up and playing

He is a happy bunny.
I made a template armboard so I can recreate again if anyone wants an ebony or ABW armboard for the SL-1200GR.

The armpod is ready.
Will be collected next week.
Atop of the solid ebony armboard is a Audio Technica AT 1005 MkII.
The arm will also be getting a new polished stainless steel armlift carrier - more on that later.
Here is the 7kgs+ pod. Height adjustable +/- 10mm.

Here's a brushed Stainless steel tonearm damper weight, bound for the USA.
Fits atop the Fidelity Research FR64s tonearm. This one features a composite insert that's not too hard and not too soft to dampen any micro vibrations that could occur metal to metal.

Tonearm armpod with ebony armboard and armlift / armclip holder for Audio Technica AT-1005 arm.
All ready to collect.
The armlift is a new Jelco one which matches and works well. I fit arm clips to the armlift carriers, so it's all self contained.
Robust, height adjustable feet give a good range of adjustability and levelling.

Another armpod.
This time in brushed aluminium.
Will have the usual ebony armboard, adjustable knurled brass feet and fitting for an SME V tonearm.
Lead filled as ever for mass and stability.
More to follow as I progress.

Progress on an ebony armboard to fit a Mikro Seiki to a Technics SL-150.
The deck requires quite a deep armboard and has 3 long in reaching lobes where the armboard sits. Engineering hat on and an elegant solution will be found.
Pictured here it is not finished / polished yet.
Trial fitting on my SL-1210.

The armpod for a SME V is ready.
This has to incorporate the angled phono cable exit underneath.
As usual cast lead filled for mass and stability, three height adjustable soft pad feet and a thick ebony armboard with threaded inserts for easy arm fitting.
Ships to the Netherlands.

I can make these for pretty much any arm. Even in 3" diameter if space is tight.
