2nd arm is a goer

Recommended Posts

Well here is part one.

Got a message a couple of days ago saying my arm board is ready. In actual fact, the kind gentleman made me 2 arm boards, as he must know i wont be able to stop at a second arm :)

A huge thank you to Mark (handysteel) for making these up for me. A true gentleman.

A great job indeed. I am very happy with the results.

The best part is i can return the table back to stock at any time as no modifications are needed.

Here is what it looks like with the arm board temporarily just sitting in place

May I be so bold as to suggest my kuzma 313 vta 12 inch arm for your third arm!

not sure i will even go a 3rd arm to be honest.

It took me for ever to decide to even do this second arm. My concern is will i ever use it, or will i always opt for the best sounding one....

time will tell, then i can decide if i even want a 3rd

Looks great John and I'm keen to hear your review once you get the cartridge set up. I notice the head shell holes are fixed and I assume there is fine adjustment capability for alignment at the tonearm base?

Cheers,

Keith

cheers guys.

Yes, must admit James has done a great job, and when he told me about the coating, i was happy to go with it.

The Black does finish it off nicely indeed.

Shane, no cart on it as i havent mounted the arm as yet. Its just sitting there for the photos. Will hopefully have it mounted and setup within a couple of days, but really, i need to get Jasper, the resident arm guru to come do it :)

Keith, yes mate you are correct in the way you align the cart, and the holes have enough play to allow for offset adjustment

Once its all up and running i'll be sure to post my thoughts
