Hi Vince thank you ,, i have been having a platter made of acrylic some 45mm thick , the weights off the gyro will be inserted into the bottom of the platter when complete,, it is in the process of being machined,, i have also just designed a armpod that i am having made for SME and Jelco ,, arms, to use the std armboard or a new one if you have the new o ring pylon ,, this is a work in progress,,as yet it is still on the drawing board

The platter is in the middle of being made.,too my design by truepoint ,, i like the gyro platter but find the drive grooves are a pain , so to keep the look and get more mass, we will insert the platter weights into the acrylic one,,, i was looing for a flat belt but could not buy one,, unless a special was made,, the weight of the acrylic is about 5kg at this moment ,, and then the weights have to be added,, there is also a tripple pully to be made,, one 45 and 2x 33,, to use the michell belts,,


have a good christmass and a happy new year to all of the AOS Members,,
