Arm Board source for Technics SL1000 MK2/MK3

Been awhile since I needed a new arm board for either of my MK2 or MK3 SL1000 tables, but I have only one left (unused), need at least 2 more and would like some spares.

Anyone know of someone who makes/sells these?  I know it would not be that difficult, so will go to local shop if none is selling online.

Thanks,

Rick

Oh, same guy on Etsy who made different counterweight for Fidelity-Reseach tonearms.

But his arm boards does not have a metal frame ? Or it’s not metal ?
He's selling inserts only, not a frame

I’ve seen a fake one on Acoustand they were designed to look identical on the picture, but was made without metal frame. Anyway later i realized they got nothing is stock and everything made in order, guys are very slow. You may find something usable on their site.

If you need the original Technics armboard they are $200-300 minimum.

I think you could order a metal arm board instead. 

A friend who left me Obsidian plinth asked local vendor to make wooden arm boards, they must be pained just like the obsidian surface. I'm gonna get them soon. 

Another recommendation is to replace stock footers from your obsidian plinth and use Audio-Technica AT-616 pneumatic insulators (they are rare, but the best). This is how it works.
