Mounting plate for Systemdek?

[MTB musicman]

My first post.....

I've just bought a secondhand Systemdek for beer money fitted with a Linn Basik LVX arm. The arm has a little damage to the tube up by the headshell so I may want to change it for a different one in the future.

Is it possible to get plates for such as the Rega rb300 or are there other simpler alternatives. Or is it easy to make a plate to fit the rega to the Systemdek 11X (with teardrop plate).

Hi,

Making a plate is relatively easy. Most non-rega arms you could get hold of
second-hand, Linn, Logic, Helius etc will fit the Linn mounting hole / dimensions.

For a Rega you would need some large washers for arm hieght adjustment.

Hi,
rb250 works well.
It is stiffer around the bearing yoke than the rb300 and responds better to the tweaks available to upgrade the back end (weights extensions etc).
