I know this guy isn't to everyone's taste but it's nicee to hear some not so black and white thoughts on what's become a polarised subject.

I just threw that one in.

Think I've cracked it, now.

I'll stop milking it...

...before it makes a mess on the matting.
Oil do the same.

That's a fine looking way to set things up K, certainly a refreshing departure from the norm. The contrasting marble sets things off well. As to the OP (now long past being a problem lol) I wouldn't choose granite due to it's potentially ringy nature and the fact that it can be a wee bit radioactive...

Best thing to do with a LP12. Stick on a long pole in the middle of the garden, soak it in Paraffin and set light to it. Dance around it singing "good feckin' riddance". I was giving your post some thought Doc and considered a means of "Disliked kit destruction v2.0". Perhaps a ...

Hmm. I can see there are certain things to avoid here! No because it is a shit copy of someone else's design they stole. And made a fortune out of theft. I have no argument with what they did in the past but that was nearly half a century ago. The same could be said of VW who made use of a lot of Ta...

I think a Jelco is too high mass arm for a V15III. If you want genuine vintage low mass an SME III is the ticket. There is a member here who makes the Sole subchassis. I think he may be able to help with arm boards. I'm sure there are a number of other third party makers out there. Why not go more ...

It looks like a work of engineering art (even if it is an oxymoron... maybe). Certainly not in the "understated" bracket though

I use one occasionally on bendy records, the lightweight Clever Clamp being my weapon of choice usually (or always on a suspended TT). I have a few weights that I've tried, nothing fancy, but I find the best way to a flat record and good platter contact is sensible storage YMMV. I find if I'm cleani...

Forgive me father for I have sinned, mea culpa, but that's the way the mop flops sometimes. I have an LP12 lurking, unused for a long time, in a dark recess somewhere. It's pretty old (82ish) and currently armless, it's still AC but has a Cirkus conversion and Trumpolin base. The reason I've kept it...
