    Here's an ebony armboard for another very nice TD-124 / Audio Technica arm, this time a 9.5" one!
    Arm hole and rest drillings, and I fitted the arm / armboard too.

    Hi. Can I ask what sort of price would a sheet ebony the size of a 150 top plate cost?

    Beautiful.

    A few years ago I had the opportunity to buy one of these and not really understanding the market value I offered too little and it was sold to someone else, a collector who will never use it, just look at it. The annoying thing is I would have gone to the price he bought it for but I wasn't given the opportunity.

    Someday another one will come my way - I hope.


    Regards Neil

    Are you talking about the arm, T/T or both?

    Then check out the ATP 12 and the AT 1503 Mk. III arms.

    Steve - how much do you charge for such an arm board for a Thorens 124?
