Appreciate the quick response. Would you need definite orders or just a level of interest?
Would you mind if I copied details & photos from this thread to show what is being offered?

I've fitted my collar, it's such a quality item. No comment on sound quality as I can't bring myself to swap the standard collar in, it looks a bit, well, naff in comparison. Perhaps one day i'll get around to it. Here's a pic.

Ah, so we're talking the UK... Cheers, mate - remember this is an international forum, so it could've been the Central South of anywhere!!
If I were you, I'd put "Oxfordshire, UK" in your profile. It's a lot more straightforward

Hi Hugo
Just to add my voice to the chorus of approval I fitted my new collar today and they are fantastic pieces of engineering.
I would definitely want another one.
I have just acquired 2 brand new old stock L.A.D. Tonearms and these arm collars are ideal compared to the tiny flimsy little things that come with the arms.
It also means that I can at last mount my L.A.D. Tonearm onto my SL1210.
Could you let me know if you are going to order anymore? Like I say I'll definitely take one off you.

Hugo,
Just a quick update: 4 'orders' so far, just from the weekend.
Also, just wondered if a 'one-off' was possible? - same basic design, but arm lift cut-out not required and different diameter hole. Thanks.
