Turned aluminium cone to match existing ones.
Original was lost.
Idea is the polished finish will over time oxidise to match the patina of the Matt one.

Now cutting a large internal screw thread for Vitaxox / Philips compression driver adapter rings.
Over 2" diameter thread.
I also test fit them on my own Vitavox S2 drivers.
These will fit a large format horn to a Philips compression driver (somewhere in France).
Finishing and mounting drillings to go.

The Tannoy GRF replica cabs all finished and under test.
As always 24 & 21mm birch plywood used throughout.
These feature the tear drop baffle and are bi-wired for true active amping, should the fancy take the new owner.
A short sound clip can be heard in my Insta account.

A little update on a Reed armboard I made a while ago.
Here it is mounted on the customer's deck.
It's nice to see where they end up

Replacement Stainless Steel anti skate weights 5g and 3g and mounting rod for the mighty Fidelity Research FR64s classic Tonearm.
I've been commissioned to make the whole anti skate assembly so more crafting to come.

Here's more progress on the Fidelity Research FR64s anti skate assembly I was asked to make.
I have turned the rotational cylinder, had 4 drillings and made the counterbalance cone.
Trial assembled so far as I have to wait for the rare threaded bolt (an old bicycle spoke thread I cannot cut) needed to attach it to the arm.
Once I've got that I can do the final machining, clean up/polish and test it on the arm.
Labour of love..
Test assembled
Turning the small counterbalance cone.
