Well Tempered Simplex arm and wiring
mr_m, thanks for this detailed description - I thought of keeping the cylinder bottom of the cup unit solid as well to add mass. Can you tell me the length of you suspension arm? I understand that the arm is 3.8" from plinth to top of arm (for the...

So, the visible part of the cup above the plinth top is 1.5" and that the bottom part of the cup is rounded - a half sphere - and the cup looks is a test-tube shape.

Mr_m, can you verify the cup dimensions again? Cup height is 3-3/8? Cup depth is 1-1/2"... is the cup very thick at the bottom to add mass? How deep is the Amadeus plinth?  Thanks for the info on the connector, ac adapter and squash balls. Have yo...

How do the feet come off? They seem very tightly screwed on... hesitant to use too much force. I understand that the feet need to be rotated occasionally because they compress over time.

mr_m, can you measure the outer diameter and height of your silicon pot? Perhaps stick a toothpick inside and mark it to then measure the inner height? The connector has proved hard one to find... anything written on male part of the connector? A ...

I'm getting close to similar performance to my ear. I can also change the length of my longer arm, which has come in handy. The first arm sounds fantastic on my Braun PCS-5 idler. That Braun's been a fun project... the it has a 50 hz pulley but it...

Well Tempered bearing old vs new
As a test, I switched the black platter and larger spindle from my WTT with the smaller spindle and acrylic platter from the WTRP, leaving the bearings in their respective plinths. The black platter and larger spindle ride properly on the WTRP bea... 
Should I keep my Well tempered tonearm?
Take a look around the web for interviews with Firebaugh. I couldn't quote him exactly (which is why I said 'somewhat'), but he has noted that many of the protractors we depend on do not conform with his WT protractor positions and this gives a cl... 
Should I keep my Well tempered tonearm?
I have had a Well Tempered Turntable since 1990 - now sporting the clamp and LP Labs arm - adapted a WT arm tube to Simplex esthetic with golf ball, grommet, etc, built another clone of the arm and just bought a WTRP off eBay being sold for parts ... 
Should I keep my Well tempered tonearm?
On the original black arm with calipers, there is a nylon set screw that is accessed from the rear of the table, behind the black azimuth knob. On my WTT, this screw needed replacement after the azimuth began wandering often. Once replaced, the az... 
Feelings on the Music Hall MMF 7.1
Can anyone tell me the diameter of the 7.1 motor and its height to where the belt hits the platter? Can you use a thread belt with it? Is the belt round? I'm looking for a Well Tempered Record Player round motor but may have to settle for somethin...

You perhaps need to replace your set screw… my azimuth also wavered until I got a replacement from Mike Pranka at Dynavector. He has a small cache of original WT small parts. Great guy. 
Should I keep my Well tempered tonearm?
Try STP with the WT arm… I've used it for almost 20 years.Bill Firebaugh says the arm already has some anti-skate built in so I always set my original WTT arm to zero. Even with my LP Labs Carbon Fiber arm upgrade, its Discovery cable wires are mo...
