    I recently received a request to make a Platine Verdier armboard to specific height and thickness specs.

    Solid ebony of course

    It will replace a MDF lacquered piece.

    IMG_20241017_145832~2.jpg

    Also requested were 6 ebony coned feet 40mm diameter/ 30mm in height and a 3mm thin ebony headshell spacer

    Here's a solid ebony armboard for a SL-1210GR in Germany.

    The tonearm will be fitted by the customer.

    Here's a solid Ebony Armboard for Supatrac themselves.

    Linn spindle to pivot and 3 mounting bolt holes.
    Flush top, fitting from below.

    Will be very interesting to see Supatrac's arm all mounted up demo'ing on a Technics SL-1300G.

    Solid one piece construction. No resonating aluminium or steel two piece plates.
