Here's another armpod.
This time for a Audio Technica ATP-12T.
96mm tall, usual heavy lead filled.
Ebony armboard and base.
Plenty of height adjustment, as it will be used on two different height plinths
Off to California for this one.

A couple of ebony armboards.
Firstly for a Voyd 3 mounting hole board.
Replaces a very thin and tinny metal plate one (was drilled for a couple of arms, sort of) - lovely sounding and looking ebony instead
SME mounting with blind nuts set in for easy arm attachment.
This one is off to Denmark.
Next an ebony disc that mounts on a tonearm plinth tower, via the 3 flush / sunk caphead bolts.
Staying in the UK for this one
