tonearm pictures...
for any interested, I can post a few of an arm I completed last night, essentially exactly what can be made with the head-shells and blocks from Bernie, a counterweight, and the rest of the stuff....to what I sent out...except mine has an effective length in excess of 315 mm
Listening to it quickly during my lunch hour... it is better than I remember the original arm sounding. I think the newer design bearing is much better...

You're all against me, just like a pack of those Yukon Lickspital Shiskadweebs!

Yes please.
thanks for emphasizing my point -
let's face it, most of us don't need any enabling to misbehave; but guidance as to a specific direction in which to focus our energies, rather than shattershot, is always helpful
in other words, those so inclined can gracefully find another corner in which to occupy themselves

Cry-baby, your former career should have prepared you for submission of HFR through appropriate channels
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
PS - oops, I almost forgot the emoticons,
actually, this one looks like an official Government agency report ( WCB Form 7 for example)

X2!-Who else can't wait for 8th Annual Vancouver Island diyFEST, 2011?
Cheers!
( I doubt that Dave & Ruth are though!)
Best, Don

I should have a project (or 10) ready by then. Maybe something with drivers halfway between the mini polka-dotted FR's and Cal's PA system. And maybe a PP KT88 thingy, and a large Brazilian amplifier (or 3) with fins, worthy of Cal's PA system. I like fins.
I have to get this damn DIY house done first.

er a pix and some further thoughts....
the arm as shot last night. I have since mounted it at approximately the same height as my SME309, both use Grados. Mounted at 315mm from the centre of the spindle, effective length=330mm. Big ballsy sound. Not the same presentation, but in the same league as the SME. In this case size matters. Oh, no tim spent actually aligning anything, just plunk and dunk.
I'll actually set the thing up properly on the weekend. If I can develop a good process, I'll definitely produce these commercially.
Dave, the Kynar worked well. In the pst I've always found it it too stiff.

Todd, I just had a closer look at your avatar and a light bulb just came on.
Yeah, that was shot at some DIY thing in Florence a long time ago. I really should update it; it's so 1500's.
I'll need to use the Hiab for the big finned amps. We should invite a band and have a real DIY party. I have some DIY mics, but no DIY mixing boards (but we can probably use DSP on a DIY computer for that). I wish I had a dollar for every DIY mic cable I've ever made.
