Hi Steve, absolutely a beauty and can't wait to have it set up and in action. I'm keeping the ebony board for my Jelco750D as a back arm. The African one is for my Audio Origami modified Linn Ekos arm. Although the Linn and Jelco share the same mounting pattern the stylus overhang differs by approx 3mm sufficient for the Linn never really being at its best in my ebony board. The grain of the wood is artwork in itself by nature worked on by Speedy Steve. Bravo Maestro
