DIY linear tonearm

Hi Niffy.

Thank you for your reply. I also admire your work.
Let me first digress from the topic. To my great regret, I have to communicate with you through an automatic translator. The translators on my phone and laptop often give completely different translations,you can see for yourself by looking at the screenshots and doing the reverse translation. Pay attention to your nickname. Which one is correct? That's why I will write in short, concise phrases and, sorry, you will not be able toenjoy the beauty of the Russian language. However, this will not give the automatic translatormany chances to greatly distort the meaning of what is written.

A few words about myself.
I am a pensioner, I am 67 years old, I live in Krasnodar. I listened to vinyl most of my life, then CDs, after retiring I got into vinyl again. I am a DIYer and I like to remake record players in my own way. A year and a half ago I got interested in tonearms, then I accidentally came across this forum. I read this thread and the thread "Angling for 90° - tangential pivot tonearms". At this stage I am working on tangential pivot tonearms of my own design, and I am also closely following this thread. I am a meticulous person when it comes to technical details, so please do not take my questions as criticism, they are of both purely academic and practical interest to me. In several of my posts I will explain why I came to this topic and not to the thread"Angling for 90° - tangential pivot tonearms" and ask questions that I did not find an answer to in the thread, or maybe I missed them by accident.

AG.

Hi Andrey,

This thread and the angling for 90° thread have both become very long. Finding the information that you are looking for can be difficult. Especially if you are using a translation program. There is a lot of excellent information buried in them. If you can't find what you are looking for or need something explained please ask. We all like an engineering challenge and love to share the knowledge we have gained.
