Marco,
I do not supply the Epoxy with the base Plates which I supply from here as this makes the packaging bulky and could result in a busted tube. I will leaave it to Dave to decide what to do.

Yup, Mike. My comments were aimed solely at what Dave does at his end. Perish the thought of sending tubes of glue from Oz!
Are you supplying him with the 'distance pieces'/spacers, for the PCB, or is he getting them machined in the UK?

Dave does not supply the glue apparently so I think that needs clarifying from both business and customer perspective.Originally Posted by Mike_New

No problemo, Rob. Thanks for the clarification. I guess folk can get hold of some Araldite easily enough... The spacers and bolts, however, are a different matter

Cheers Marco, We just need perspective purchasers like myself to be made aware of that so we are not searching in the package for something that wont be included

Slightly off thread i know but I was in communication recently with a guy on da Bay regarding a big Sony ES he had up for auction. Here is one of the comments he made in relation to it and his system - coincidently! which i've copied and pasted from the email 'Just bought a Denon DL-S1 cartridge to replace my aged DL-304 and I have been blown away' .Well, the motor unit certainly isn't, that's for sure!
We'll have to agree to disagree, Mark, about the plinth. I've got quite a few years experience now of modding the Technics, and so have a good handle on its strengths and weaknesses, and IMO, the plinth doesn't qualify as being one of the latter.
However, the bottom line for me, however you cut it, is that plinth included, and especially after the BBP has been fitted, this Techy is capable of competing with the very best.
That was the case beforehand (based on the evidence produced by various comparisons), but even more so now. I'd honestly love to take it round some high-end dealers, and put it up against the best T/Ts that they had (I wouldn't care what they were or how much they cost), just to see what would happen!!
Incidentally, the other thing I should mention is that the Denon DL-S1 cartridge has been an utter revelation......

Hello,
So very sorry with the delays for supplying the bearing base plates, the plates themselves are easy to produce, the
self tapping screws ok, whitworth thread cap head screws less so, brass spacers/stand offs made.
I just need to get the self tapping screws in and the kit will be ready, that should be over the weekend, I will let
all and sundry know once the kits are ready, the glue is simply 2 part araldite which you can buy in B+Q or online
so no point me sending any one that in case the couriers confiscate it (DHL as an example x-ray every shipment)
Thanks
Hi Folks,
Remember the Araldite epoxy must be the High Strength version not the quick setting on
