hello,
does anybody know what metal aTechnics sl1200 m3d tonearm tube is made of? I would like to gold plate it as to match another gold plated tonearm I have (long story) but I do not know what metal it is made of and most jewelers can not gold plate on titanium and some other metals.
I have searched all over google for the tonearm specs and read through the entire technics manual, but it does not say what metal the tonearm tube is made of.
For further discussion... I have a limited edition technics 1200 mk5GLD. Does anyone know how they plated the hardware on that one? I sometimes see custom gold tonearms on ebay and such but whenever I take mine to a jeweler they tell me they can not plate it without knowing what metal it is.
Thanks for any info!
