Arm ID?

Yes,it’s a pip with a slot to take the loop of nylon,guessing it must be doing a very small amount of pull

As long as it imparts an anti-clockwise force about the pivot then that works. Unlike @Ruprecht 's arm which is the other way, making the tendency to skate worse.

On the neat arm I use an o ring that fits snuggly on the stub,then tuck nylon wire in between stub and o ring, and slide along stub for desired effect.
I probably should have been an engineer

Funk Firm F prototype or trial piece?

Or maybe something from the old PT days that never got progressed.

All plausible I guess? I’m thinking this will be heading to @Stu for his Audio B&B

Hope you measured the pivot to spindle before you removed it

(I know he didn’t)

I did not. No true friend would deprive you of that trifle.

Grist for the mill.

Nice looking 401 and the plinth isn’t too shabby either.

I really should get a protractor, instead of pissing about with printed stuff.

One of these days.

The plinth is bonkers. It’s OAK with Slate insert, delrin arm pod, loads of other oddities. Internally it’s messy and externally ‘busy’ but it sounds quite decent.
