| Whats on your turntable tonight? Is the tonearm a stock item or did they custom build it for you.@uberwaltz He's a one man hobbyist who makes bearings for Garrard/Lenco and various sundry parts over on LH. He's made a few of these arms to order. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw It’s very viscous. I’d say about 1/5 of the lower part of the ball is in it. | |
