I'm Patrick.
I'm enjoying mine too much to take it apart.
Do I see two small blue trim pots in the upper right of your PCB? Are you going to replace all the greens caps as well on the PCB? You'll be matching resistors next to 0.001% tolerance (just like on my paradise) next!!!!!

A bit more work done yesterday,
my veneer press is earning its keep,having glued up the 2 beech mu25 boards i then glued them to the panzerholz top board. The mu25 was easy,i just used pva adhesive,the panzerholz being resin/veneer needed epoxy resin,for this i used the whest epoxy system.
Here they are in the press,
I shall profile the boards to shape at work tomorrow,then i can turn my attention to the top veneer first then the sides.
This is the cocobolo veneer i will use for the top of the plinth,its a shame that most of it will be removed when i route out the hole for the turntable chasis.
Both sheets are taped up and being flatterned in the press.
Again i will use epoxy for the adhesive.

lovely looking veneer there , it will look great!
At the cutting edge of Numptyness!
These trim pots might have gone off spec. It might be worthwhile checking to see how accurate they are and maybe changing them for something with a greater degree of accuracy. I did something similar with the trim pots on the Paradise phonostage and manage to get voltage accuracy to within 0.001mv. There might be something similar on some of the american sites which supply Military spec components.

Hi Jamie
With the Lamination of Panzerholz and MU24/ Duplex, the waste material from the Cut out would make a very desirable core material for a Standalone Tonearm Pod.
I had just recently offered a friend who makes standalone Tonearm Pods, a cut off, when it is available, from my 75mm thickness Permali, for the same task as I will outline.
I could see a 100mm Diameter Billet sandwiched between a Phosphor Bronze or Steel Base.
The Top Plate could be made of Ebony, Corian, Delrin or even the naked Panzerholz,
I have no doubts there would be a very pleasing attenuation on a standalone Tonearm, if mounted into a combination of these types of materials.
Either way, you have done the hard work, so the last bit of the exercise would be relatively easy to complete.
I'm sure a few will express a interest in such a device for the opportunities it can offer to try other arms out on a deck, or to overcome the restrictions of a plinth that can only take one Tonearm.
Beautiful stuf is cocobola
