For those of you building or modding a TT, here is a great device that you can incorporate into an arm lift for controlling the rate of descent. It is basically a precision air cylinder with a fine adjustment that controls the air escape. Go to www.airpot.com and click on "free sample". Select "dashpot". You will have to provide some info- company name, etc.
On my own DIY TT, I made my own lift device, but with an 11.5" arm, I couldn't damp it well enough with oil to result in a slow descent at the stylus. I added one of these, and it is perfect. Hopefully I can get a picture up soon.
