Does anyone have the dimensions of this arm board that they can share? I am expecting delivery of a TD-125 with out arm board and I want to get a head start on making one. Thanks

100mm wide at bottom
291mm long

The angle is toward the inside edge, not on the other side near the base.

It is very difficult to measure the exact location of the 3 mounting holes on the armboard. Any suggestion on how to drill them precisely for a Thorens TD-125 Mark-II?

It is easy to measure the outside dimensions and the angle of the inside edge off the TP-16 board I removed from the turntable. I bought a pre-drilled hardwood TD125 armboard off e-bay. The mounting holes are too big and their location all off making it possible to line up one of the 3 holes despite the oversized holes.

I will try to make my own armboard out of 1/2" birch plywood this time. Cutting the board on my miter saw is not difficult. I measured the hole location off the original board too. I would appreciate any information to confirm my measurement and any tip on precision drilling of the holes.

The tonearm to be mounted is a Technics EPA-102L with 242mm effective length and 15mm overhang. The arm comes with a mounting template. Any suggestion on the lateral location of the arm hole from the armboard inside edge?
