I wouldn't mind a couple of shots of the sub-chassis before you set it up. Can you borrow, or do you have a digital camera?

I'll be monitoring this thread, so I probably won't forget, but I'll see about getting some pictures (I've got a cheap digital camera) of the insides when and if I can.
Can't forget one's pals after all!😀
Best Regards,

2 left now. One went off to Seattle today, and one packed to go to Calgary. One to go to Alert Bay.

Who in the world lives in Alert Bay, that cares about Audio in general, or TT's in particular?
The people up there only care about fishing (and Bonneville Speed Records?).

Jeff and Terry...
do make the arms. They are worth the effort and even the $2.19 the original cost me to make😉
Jeff: the SL1200 would make an interesting listen, and is a work-horse. At worst, it's an appliance.
Terry. Lucky pooch. The simplicity of the arm is one of the things that I actually like most about this design. Please note, that the "joke" Altmann arm was my original inspiration.
In both cases you may have to create some sort of tab to allow you to move the arm easily, and some sort of arm rest (much like the Well Tempered type seems obvious).
I'm currently looking at the arm made by Bernard Salabert , and thinking of modifying the arm further, as well as trying one of these.
Any that make the "219" (sorry for the typo in the thread typo), please post your findings and comments.

Stew,
I've seen that tonearm, or one very like it on a U-tube video.

That was the point of my post.Good design needs only what it takes to be right,and black magic(b.....t),it ain't.I am not fond of methods that try to kill flies with a bomb.
I use a Stax UA 70 12",and a Rega RB 300, in my analogue setup,and I believe that both of them are good enough as reference points of match or exceed them.(exceed them,but I am playing modest)
Currently I am trying to build a linear, parallel tracking tonearm ,with a not great result ,so far, but your design is scintillating.
Thanks for your input.

It seems that the "Hidden Hand of Fate" is directing me toward an all Vinyl, Tube driven system, which is really annoying, as I had originally envisioned a Radio Shack/ MP3 Mid/Low FI system, which is more in keeping with my character and taste. Oh, Darn it anyway!!!
You are on the right side of the road.Keep walking.

Dave, got any left over bearing set ups? I'm acquiring a TD-124 (traveling to NYC to pick it up today in fact) and I think it might fun to play with this arm as a second arm on the yet to be built plinth..
If you both want one they are all spoken for.
Kevin, post to the US is $9 surface (have to look up air ... you have my paypal)
BL, you haven't marked your location, i'd need that to figure post.

Yes,it was a speedy registration ( the teapot was whistling in the kitchen and rain was dribbling through an open window).
Location is Athens,Greece.
Just let me know the details.
Lots of thanks

You can always go into the UserCP and tweak your settings and add info.
I've sent an email with detail.

The Nanook "219" is now is destined to become a world-wide phenomenon in advanced tone arm design!
Best Regards,
TerryO
Do you mean that I am going to be the first European that will have the Nanook 219?
B.L.
Actually I don't know that for a fact.
You might want to ask your neighbors if they already have a "Nanook 219." That way you can be sure.
Best Regards,
TerryO
Hi TerryO,
that's unimportant.I was joking about being a Nanook 219 pioneer in Europe.
It is very nice of them,guys,that are giving free tonearms to us.
I intend to mount it, on a modified to non suspended Thorens 150 platter and motor unit,with a Denon 103.
BTW my nearest neighbors are into PC music only.
