    The hinges, motor, motor board and housing are still original. But yes all the other bits were given away or sold many years ago to several happy homes. This was a 1996 Rega Planar 3.

    I think the next thing for me is a 24v motor upgrade, the original motor is past its best I think, but as far as motor noise goes the silent base does an amazing job, the rubber motor cup absorbs 90% and the bit that's left is held at bay bt the sorbothane domes the plinth sits on

    That's a good looking turntable and very nice audiomods arm. Like what you did with the plinth, how do you rate the audiomods series 5?

    The arm is very very good, easy to set up and adjust with the micrometer, which unlike the earlier versions is now fluid damped so i've actually adjusted VTA while a record is playing. Sound wise it brings better detail and a wider sound stage and unlike my old stock Rega RB202 there is no noise at all from the wiring, not that you could hear it on the rega when music was playing but it was there in the background when everything was turned on and cranked up to 11.

    Thanks that’s good to know. I placed an order for an Audiomods series 6 which uses a different material for the arm wand moving away from the Rega. Never heard one in the flesh just made the decision based on owner reviews and gut feel.

    I do like Rega kit, so I'll have to figure it out.
    Me too, just a weird little photo icon? What’s up with that?

    Didn't know Jeff had brought out a new model and can't see it on his website - have you got any details about it?

    I also have the Series 5 arm and really like it - mines on a Technics TT.

    Same here, I've never heard of the series 6 and Jeff didn't mention it when I ordered my arm, very strange

    I reached out to Jeff 2 weeks ago to inquire about placing an order for a series 5 and he informed me that production of the series 5 is on hold because of development of series 6. He sent me a draft PDF of the specs, the series 6 comes in 2 lengths 9 inch and 10.5 inch, also a black anodized version will be available. His estimation is that it’ll be ready for shipping end of April.
