Notes from a remote island

AN arm 3

Would love to try the FR64 on it but need a different armboard.

At least you won’t be asking anyone to bring kit to your bakeoff!

Yes :grinning:

You will all be welcome to do so but just getting yourselves here will do :slight_smile:

I actually put a rega mount hole (25mm) in a Motus board that already had a 32mm hole in it this week. Handy as I can now run either type of mounting in that board. There is room for both.

Ooh, now there’s a thought.

I think I’ll try that, should be straightforward on the drill press.

Thank you!

I used a circular hole saw after drilling a 2mm pilot hole. Went through very nicely.

I was thinking of using a forstner bit, what do you think?

It’s only Delron or similar, isn’t It?

Yes Delrin. It would probably be ok.

Indeed, Delrin

Don’t know where I got Delron from…

The delron ron ron the delron ron

(you can thank me later for the earworm)

Think I might have been fantasizing over Reparata. :smiling_imp:

Lou bought me a sign for when the room was finished. I’ve made a couple of small alterations and I think it works now :slight_smile:

Probably easy enough for me to make another arm board on the lathe/cnc machine if you get stuck.

Cheers Edd, I’m going to try the two hole solution first (ooh err missus) which means I’ll either have a workable solution, or I’ll need two new armboards!

Watch this space…

Not sure what size to size you are going from and to
But had a delrin insert made at work, so I could go from 25mm rega to 19mm neat tonearm

Obviously no good if you are going bigger than 25mm

Cheers Stu, but this is a circular armboard that is only suitable for the Motus. I’m pretty sure I can make mine to be effective for dual use, but we’ll see tomorrow!

edit:

Sorry, I see what you mean now, an insert might work.

Cheers

Yes, as long as the pivot to spindle is the same, which luckily the neat/rega arm are. Is the motus arm board fixed? I can’t remember

It’s circular and the hole is offset from the centre, so it can be rotated to suit any spindle to pivot distance, within reason.

Just has a little lip to keep it central

Would love to get a dry shed at some point, and get a small lathe and little pillar drill for stuff like this
