Just want to share some info I was able to dig up over the weekend. From what I was able to gather, the original design was intended for two arms. But Michelle never officially made that announcement. And they stopped offering post-sale services to drill holes on the second "mouse ear" around 2002.
Some had suggested to just blu-tak the second armboard to the mouse-ear, and remove the weight underneath the mouse-ear. That looks plausible, except I am afraid of a freak accident where the whole assembly may get yanked off the table. So I am thinking of doing the blu-tak method and adding a few plastic ties to prevent the arm assebly from accidentally flying off.
Someone asked about where to locate the motor. My understanding is to measure the distance from the spindle to the center point of the pulley while it is still sitting inside the mouse-ear. Place it anywhere outside of the mouse-ear, but make sure that the distance between the center of the pulley and the spindle stays the same.
Will report in this time next year if this works. I am in the process of dismantling my system as my house will be going under a major remodel. That's why I was hoping to get the subchassis drilled while the turntable is out of commission.
Thanks for everyone's help.
