Nottingham Spacedeck – Custom Armboard

(click to enlarge)

Hot off the press, we just completed fabrication of a custom arm pillar to install a Kuzma 4Point-9 on a Nottingham Spacedeck.

We worked closely with the customer to replicate the key dimensions and adjustment features of the original assembly.

Since you will never get a perfect color match (there are infinite variations of black), we chose to anodize the new assembly rather than powder coat it as is the original.

In this way, the main pillar, the "riser" and the Kuzma mounting collar have the same texture.

ShockingIt’s that time of year, when we’re fielding questions about static build-up on turntables … well, non-Galibier turntables that is. On our Galibiers, static is a non-problem as you’ll see below, but with other turntables the solution may not be “built in”. We have 2 approaches to solving this. In this post, we addressed a possible work-around to
