Primer complete

A little more progress on the Tonearm today. Just finished Cadmium Plating all the metal components.Turns out that the arm is Aluminium and not steel. So will paint it Matt Black.

:BWAHAHAH: As to not get any of the oils and acid from your fingers on the bearings when you install them.

I had the Bearings Inspected and Cleaned by a friend who rebuilds Gyros for Aircraft instruments in a Class 1 clean room. He had the bearings cleaned in a Ultrasonic bath with Acetone to get rid of any dirt.Then inspected them under a Microscope for any wear or Brinelling. After that he soaks...

Thanks to Aqualung's Link to Analogue-Classics page with the total weight of the Balance weight and Rider weight assembly I have worked out that the Rider weight should be 26.2g. Will have a look at what size Brass Rod I have lying around and get it turned up. Busy turning Teflon bushes to make...

Here is the progress so far:

Thanks Aqualung. That's perfect.

I have had this tonearm for a while now.So I'm finally getting around to looking at it. I've stripped it down to give it a deep cleaning in a Ultrasonic Bath. I noticed that I'm missing a few parts though.The Rider weight is missing,as well as the bias weight guide and 1 of the Acorn Nuts. Can...

Hi Karel Thanks for the awesome thread that you started here.And Yves for your software. It's been very informative. Maybe we could do as Ampdog suggested "Not to hi-jack Karel's thread, but how about someone stating his/her requirement, and we could then design a transformer for that. As said...

I had the pleasure of seeing some of Ian's craftsmanship first hand when he was still at his townhouse. He says it was a small garage, that may be but it was one of the most well set out and organised wood shops I've seen.Also had a listen to his giant HE speakers with a sub woofer built into...

Id like to see what this one will look like. I built the Bugle 2 with a 12 v power supply in an old HDD case. One thing I found is it uses a hell of a lot of resistors. But the sound is worth it. And its better  to have the main traces on the bottom layer and the other traces on top.There is...

I am still planning on building the Zen Open Baffle. I started the cutting plan in SolidWorks. Looks like I'll need 1and a half sheets for a pair.which is okey because I'm building another pair for a friend at work. I will start a thread for them soon

Martin I have to compliment you on your CNC. It is truly an amazing setup. I did in fact learn a lot on Saturday. So thank you for your knowledge and expertice. As for our little horn project that was an afternoon well spent. Had good fun. It's just a pity I didn't get to hear them with the...

Hi Karel I looked at the thickness of the wire and yes it is extremely thin. Looks braided as well. I will measure the DC Resistance of the primary tonight.
