Nanook 219 kit

[Nanook]

just a place holder for any possible "219" kits. Pricing as yet to be determined. Shipping to your location as per Canada Post estimates.

This is a copy of a post I made in the "latest iteration" thread in the Analog Forum:

I created a thread in Vendors Bizarre, once actual costs are calculated, I'll post pictures, and purchase type information there

A couple of questions, though:

• Should I provide a counter-weight scheme or do you think most folks would want to do something for themselves?
• An arm rest?
• The male bearing, upright, and mount?
• Right now I am using black tubing. Some have the Easton decal on them. Should this be sanded off?
• And any potential exits for the tonearm wire? Some say on the top side of the arm tube, some say the bottom side? I want to standardize as much of this as possible
• Cartridge tags?
• Tonearm wire?
• RCA plugs or jacks (single run to phono preamps if RCA plugs)?

The above will allow me to complete the design as much as possible, while still leaving room for some experimentation for end users.

Any deviations from the tonearm in it's current iteration will not negate the performance of the kits spoken for up until now. I will post this same message (or at least a link to this post) in the Vendors Bizarre thread.

Interested in the female bearing and arm w/headshell. I think I can work out the rest. See my reply in the "latest iteration" post.

all:

well here are some thoughts...

First I'll post when each arm is being shipped. Those that are in the "beta tester group, please be patient. Follow my comments on the "latest iteration" thread.

If Bernie cannot make more of the headshells, I'll see if I can get them done locally. Thus far the only "logical" changes are the use of 3/8" shafts, as drill bits are easy in that dimension---23/64 are a little hard to come by. Also looking at schemes to retain the arm, so that it cannot be easily knocked off the pivot.

later,

My zip code is 76012.

I don't know your originating postal code to figure the postal cost.
Is small packet a 'letter - up to 500 g' or 'parcel'?

Thanks for the help and looking forward to getting the tonearm.
