Marco has asked if the collar is easy to fit. It is a simple matter of unbolting the old Jelco collar and bolting in the new one.
The radius of the collar is 1mm larger than the original one, which is no problem for SL1200 users who have Sound HiFi's Jelco armboard. The top section of the custom collar is 5mm taller than the Jelco one, so please make sure that your arm, as currently set up in its original collar, has at least 5mm of bare arm pillar showing above the collar. If there is less than 5mm showing, then the arm may not go down low enough to ensure correct VTA when using my collar. Hamish did kindly send some photos of his Jelco 250ST sitting in a Technics and that had plenty of clearance, so hopefully nobody will have a problem - but do make sure!
Here is what the kit contains (also a brief instruction sheet):

Shuggie, Will it fit Soundsupports armboard? If it will, I'd like to order one. The only problem, I am either too tired or too stupid to find how to send you a PM.
