Congrats - that's a very nice arm! I thought it was the VPI you were referring to before
Thing is, how long is it going to take to fit, slap the 33PTG on, and get playing some tunes, man...

Should have it fitted and set up within a weekend, depending when it arrives and how troublesome the armboard turns out to be.
The other mods I have in mind, plinth, PSU, blah blah, will take longer. Especially the plinth, lots of work will have to be done outside in the sun.
Which means I need some sun!

If you were really serious about this you would move to Alicante and do the job right!
