Nice one on the ebony armboard - you won't regret it! How's the MN platter doing - have you fitted it yet?

Marco.
Hi Marco, yes had a good Xmas and a quiet New Year. Fitted the MN platter (*) next day after getting it from you. It now has two layers of Funky's Acromat (total 10mm thick) bonded to the platter with Vaselene jelly spread. The two Acromats have their total flat sides bonded together giving one area without air gaps. Sounds bloody marvellous and possibly the best of both worlds, hybrid MN/Funk platter. Believe it that the MN platter MUST have the combination of MN bearing fitted to the MN base plate (six securing bearing screws on flange) then gasket compound to the Techy deck with gasket compound and then bolted down with five flanged locking nuts (miltatary spec). My deck sits on a Townshend Seismic sink (bellows<spring) and I have dispensed with the Isonoes in favour of Origin Live rubber feet with this total combination, as it stands, IT NOW BEATS MY LP12 which is no slouch. Have taken pictures but just can't get the hang of posting 'em.... don't have a black belt, 5th dan in computerjitsu combat. Better at the mechanical side of things

Cheers
Ron
