The arm may not be preforming as good as possible for the construction prinsible, but not bad..

Frank, if you see this, some advice could be well come..

Jep, quite heavy.. the TT and the stone platform are both a little over 15 kilos. Like in the Scheu original there is lead inside the round collar. Only buying lead pebbles would have been quite expensive so I melt down some car/truck tire weights for it. It looked kind of ugly though by its self so I pored some coffee to the sides.

The stone platform is actually a gravestone (not a used one though

) Wasn't quite first class so I got it cheap. Also the pillars around the motor are from the same stone worker. They are cutouts of completed gravestones.

The platter, bearing and motor are from Scheu Analog / the arm is of coarse a Schröder copy.

IZHAKKATZ, sounds quite good..

In many respects it beats my CDP, a 2k euro player... the TT, cart and also phone pre are still running in - so we'll see.

Also, since I have very little experiance with proper TT:s I'll probably buy a Scheu classic tonearm for some kind of reference. Also I'm thinking of building the Poul Ladegaard's Air Bearing Tangential Tonearm to see if it's a good one.

Another picture too..

Hi,

nice work with the tt

. About the tonearm... is it a clone, or just you used Scheu for inspiration? I mean did you tried to reproduce their magnet bearing? If yes, I'm intersted how it sound, 'cause I'm planing one

That must sound dead

Looks as a very nice turntable, congrats!
