Notes from a remote island

I want this sooo badly

Maybe treat yourself at somepoint

Something like a small unimat or hobbymat which are perfect for this sort of job but are obviously limited due to being small

Memory, or lack of it, is a strange thing. Having looked for this for 3 weeks, a chance remark on the zoom meeting tonight must have triggered something and I went straight to it.

Weird.

Funnily enough, Mik rang me this afternoon. He’s doing ok but still has lung related issues.

Ooooooh…A veritable Jewel you have there Sir… For a long while I ran a MK1 in original Thorens plinth sporting an 3012 series1 on a later panzerholst arm board mitt various SPU’s

I want to try an FR64 on the Motus but I’m torn between two options. Make the existing hole (23mm for AN arm) bigger (32mm) for the FR.

OR, bore a 32mm hole on the opposite side - where the star is.

The second option allows me easily interchange arms, whereas the first option would require a bush to return to the AN arm, but would look neater.

What would you do?

Can you (or somebody else) not make an individual mounting that would be a neater option ?

Yes but I don’t have access to a lathe and I’m an impatient cunt so I want to do it tomorrow.

I’m sure @edd9000 could sort summat. Maybe not tomorrow though :woozy_face:

Option 1 and sort a bush later

With a drawing I could Knock it up tomorrow.

Material choices are anything you like as long as it’s corian.

That’s a very generous offer Edd.

I’ll bore out the existing hole to 32mm and ‘if’ I want to go back to the AN, I’ll ask you to make one to suit that.

This way I’m not wasting your time if I stick with the FR64

Apologies for making work for you Edd :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Armboards and the like are no work, 20min job and pennies of material.

Building speakers would probably quicker but I end up down the rabbit hole of trying new more complicated stuff every time. The latest pair have 20+ hours of cnc time :grin:
