I know, its a pain!

Nonetheless, a beautiful job on the arm; very nice engineering.

My arm doesn't have a lif/lower device and I haven't used one in 15 years or so - never miss it and never damaged a cartridge or record.

Not in real life

The arm is a complete lash up, rough sawn blocks of wood, screws and araldite!

Ill be remaking it soon.

Just finished the slate plinth and shelve capable of holding a 65 kilo turntable

Sounds ace though!

good arm lifts/cueing may be one o fthe toughest things to do on a tonearm. So , I prefer none. And not even a little tab to lift the arm by, cause some sound bad.

having said that, one can easily be built . And the "lash up" looks excellent graeme uk
