I am not sure what Brad did when he painted it. I do know you can't take a picture of it with the flakes in it, the pics don't do it any justice... -

Weird looking tonearm, though; how does it sound??
So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

Nope, I'm waiting on next week's money to come in to pay for postage. I'll probably get it out Friday morning April 16th. Is that okay Bro? -

No hurry was just wondering if I should be on the look out for it. -
I Finally Finished it.. Not that I havent been using it but I finished the cover. I really wanted to use smoked lexan but it would not come out right off the press break, so I opted for stainless steel.
Joe I am still waiting on your tube...;) -
Sweet!Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
Thanks

Thou art a true artist!

Larry that thing is amazing! If it cleans as good as it looks, you're shittin' in tall cotton!Carl
-
Haven't heard that one before. LOL!
LOL! You're kidding. Let me explain oh dull lightbulb. No wiping necessary, you just move your butt back and forth and the tall cotton takes care of the rest, and the little thorn at the base of the cotton wad wil take care of any itches you may have!:eek::D;) -
lol,,well Joe,, I am convinced that you are speaking from experience.
Larry-- outstanding work sir !!!I'm still hand cleaning vinyl on a defunct tt,, you have given me the inspiration.:)JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut) -
LMAO! Didn't say I don't understand the theory, Gus. I said, I never heard that one before. I admit though, never occurred to me about the little thorn on the base part of it. You are the Shart Master.
