The customer collected today.
He'll be installing soon, so expect some pics and a review.
He also has another very nice deck with a Kuzma on, so comparisons will be possible.

I've been giving birth to more copper cube / ebony Platine Verdier type arm mounts.
This time 3 armboards in ebony and 2 cast copper cubes.
The customer in Hawaii didn't want the visible copper sides too bright.
So I came up with a black powder partial dusting that is then clear acrylic finished.
2 different size round hole mount armboards and a SME mount one

Here's a couple of pics of the installation and setup of the Kuzma Stogi Reference tonearm on the ebony armboard I made and installed on a Technics SL-1210 GAE Limited Edition.
The customer wrote
"All set up (using a smarTractor) and sounding great. The P2S distance was spot on so thank you once again for an amazing job!"
Always nice to see follow pics of installations and things working.
