Landfall makes great stuff. I like their approach and will be using their chassis in a number of upcoming projects.
I can't speak highly enough about Dave and his product. Simply amazing work. Not inexpensive, but an extremely good value for what you pay.
I need to order no less than 4 chassis from him, and perhaps 6. 😀

John, you need to -
1) post more photos, and
2) explain. (I know the story, but everybody else doesn't...)

John is aware of the amazing excellence of the Technics phono stuff from the late '70s through the mid '80s. Tonearms and cartridges that are still reference-quality.
SY, how is your project coming along? Pictures and text soon? Dying to know how it is coming along.
It was on hold while I finished up an AX article on test & measurement. Now it's on hold because I have to repair a Classe power amp for my physician. 😀
I did get the power supply rebuilt, but that's not exactly compelling.

FWIW, My project is waiting on paint... The problem with "Free for Family" is that time becomes no issue -- for the person who's actually doing the work... 🙂
It all started one fateful day when Stuart shot me an e-mail about EPA-100 and EPA-500 arms to go along with my newly acquired SP-10 MK2. I did a lot of research and decided to pick up an EPA-100. My first purchase was very disappointing, receiving an arm from a prolific Hong Kong eBay seller with shattered bearings.
This EPA-B500/EPA-A250 combo were advertised as being NIB. The B500 had been partially unwrapped from the factory packaging while the A250 was claimed to have never been opened. Having a newly recharged audio fund due to selling off most of my stuff before my recent move to NYC, I decided I had to have them.
They arrived yesterday. From careful inspection, I do believe the base has never been mounted, and the armwand was indeed factory sealed with the original tape holding the two case halves together.
So, last night I got to open an A250 that hasn't been touched since it left the factory. For me, this was worth the cost of admission, with the benefit of having a spectacular arm that I know has never been abused.

Not as much as I miss Boulder!
You've been a great friend - leading me to things that actually matter. Same for Jim. You both may need to help with my mortgage though.
