Mine came too and looks very cool. Now I just need to summon the will to lift & dismantle some very heavily slate plinthed SP10! Nice job Hugo.
Ron, I've had dealings in the past with Hugo and he's a good chap![]()
I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?

All of my batch of custom Jelco collars are now sold or reserved. It was not my intention to go into business with these things, but if there is further demand I could have some more made.
Marco has just highlighted a minor problem with the collar, which applies to Technics SL-1200/1210 users who have the Sound HiFi armboard with the recessed centre section. The M6 grub screw is set too far into the collar to get the allen key in, without the allen key fouling the surrounding armboard and the Technics' chassis. The solution is simple - I shall get a load of longer M6 grub screws, which should mean that you will be able to use the short part of the allen key without difficulty and with no risk of fouling any adjacent part of the record player. The longer grub screws will be posted out to everyone pronto (eg tomorrow)!
My apologies for this little niggle - I don't have a Technics any more so did not anticipate the problem.
Don't send one to me Hugo, I don't have the problem.
