Technics SL-1210 SME armboard

[Dr. Ear]

I am looking for a SME tonearm board for the SL-1210 TT. Any suggestions welcome.

Found a couple of options;


Wildly expensive...

Affordable, but of stock, but perhaps a mail?

I made mine, wasn't too hard....a router and a couple of hours. If you are handy this might be an option for you. Although, that second one linked above looks nice and isn't too expensive.

Here's mine....

I picked up a factory one for cheap- wish you were closer. Keep an eye out on eBay for the fctory ones- don't pop up often, but do.

Looks absolutely great! But how does it sound compared to the stock arm?
Which material did you choose?

Oh please......by comparison the stock arm is made by Hello Kitty. I use a Denon DL103D and it sounds tremendous. I used Plexiglas to make the disc. This is in a system in my office and I use it primarily to record my vinyl to CD. I have about 2000 records that I have collected over the 45+ years. Got some good stuff in there.

Any SME arm will make a difference, but the stock arm is not that bad imho.
