Thanks guys for the info. I have a woodworking and small metal shop and machine many types of jigs and small parts out of acrylic, wood and metal - so I figured this would be a piece of cake. I will also try some mahogany and cocobolo I have left over from some furniture jobs. I also plan to make the dust cover (also a $100 retail value) from a few dollars worth of acrylic
Dimensions on Michell armboard for Rega
I am looking to make my own Michell gyro Se armboard for a rega or OL silver arm (same size) rather than pay the outrageous price of $98 for a round piece of metal with a hole through it that Michell demands. (I would also just like to experiment with the design) If you are a Michell gyro owner could you help me out with the weight and dimensions of the armboard and i would be happy to correspond and ship you demos to try. My first intent is to build one from acrylic with lead shot to adjust the weight(like the Teres platter design). Help an audiophile defeat the shameless price gouging that we are all subject to by sending me the info - Thanks!
