This one is perhaps the best implementation to date. Still using Easton arrow shafts, still using inexpensive wire, a great bearing. Thanks to Bernie, I've added a Yamamoto inspired headshell.

Dave, please direct any asking about the actual instrux to put the arm together to this thread. I still don't know why the slideshow didn't make it intact to you.
Note that i have parts for (i think) 5 of these that Stew shipped out for diyFEST. I'm sure he'd like to see them spread around. You pay postage.
PS: Brenton (in NW Calgary) is ready to have visitors to come over and listen to his Saburo sporting FE126eN, you & Stew were on my quick & nasty list of those who might be interested. (althou stew, now that he has a job, can afford to travel, but hasn't the time)

Brenton is a psychologist (I spent some time on the phone with him in a non-professional capacity...)
wjlamp:
Special secret ingredient. Grade8 steel insert, with polymer "filler" to limit the movement of the tip of the bearing...(set screw with a UV hardening epoxy).
the arm is better than it has any right to be and competes with my SME

I'm going to try this arm on my SL-1200. I think I have enough wire to make it work.

Why you lucky dog. Can we have a pic or two?
