The answer to question 1 is that the 3012 is larger and you cannot swap them.
Which means I'm reduced to trawling through eBay and Trademe (NZ version of eBay) in a futile exercise in hunt the rare as a unicorn's horn thing!
Unless someone can make one for me - I literally had the though whilst typing this up!
As a temporary solution you can use a digital gauge and balance with the main counterweight? If you have a Lenco c/w and use that lateral balance can also be done, as it has a offset hole. Regards, Anwesh |

Please let me build a system that is a bit forgiving on what I find in thrift shops for a handful of pennies and still is able to deliver the goods on good pressings.

Someone, on another forum, suggested True Point Audio and that was a no, however they suggested some other places so I am still in the hunt.

And gone! Gotta be quick round here, and I was too slow. Thanks for pointing them out, though. |

Oh, yeah and I got some slate! Ex-billiard table, some 40mm thick. Dimensions are 1870X720X40mm  Now to create the cutout plan (2 plinth layers, cutout in plinth layers, 3 tonearm boards) Why three tone arm boards? 1) For the SME 3012 2) For the Gray tone arm I have 3) For my Origin Live Illustrious Mark IV |
