Stripped Denon DL 103R

[355F1]

Chaps,

Benz Micro Glider and Scheu, use cartridges without a body. There is a company in Canada that removes the body of the Denond DL103/103R. First photo shows the Denon stripped by Musikraft. Can it be used that way, without a body?

Attached are photos of the Benz and Scheu for comparison. I would be interested in your opinions. Many thanks.


Cheers,

Horacio

You will need to glue it to a threaded mounting plate, usually brass, but could be aluminum.

Thanks, will it be prone to hum and or other electrical interference?

No worse than with the stock plastic shell.

So, it should be a matter of building my own shell. Any projects available on this forum?

There might be. Try a search. I made one a few years ago, which worked fine. I actually used my shell for a standard DL-103.

PS: Use the drawing at your own risk. I don't remember if I had to change anything while I was machining it.

Ebay has plenty of aluminum body’s and variants for the 103
