Medyo magyayabang lang po ako ng konti Mandy has just finished sculpting my kamagong tonearm. Inip na inip na yung Luxman PD444 ko. I haven't picked it up yet, but i'll post updated pics once it's been mounted on my TT.

Ganda!

WHEW!
I thought there might be problems when you mentioned PD444. My title is in error, the arm is designed to fit in a PD444. I hope it will be a simple plug-and-play thing. I don't have any info on clearances. If there will be interference, we'll just have to remedy it. I'll attend to her until she sings.

SHE'S EAGERLY AWAITS HER PRINCE VALIANT!

this is a total rebuilt from the original arm which i saw two weeks ago and my oh my what a make over! i recognized the base plate from the original arm. let us know how this arm sounds like.

If you're thinking of giving it a name, i have a suggestion:

the Valedoso

CONGRATULATIONS Val! Ang haba ng armas mo ah! Masaya si Luxman niyan sigurado...baka naman ma-insecure si FR?

CHEERS to you, MandyM! Another Marvelous Creation from MandyM's Dungeon!

Congratulations to both Val & Mandy! It is another masterpiece work of analog art!

another WoW

Wowoweewow!!! (mouth wide open, laway tumutulo...pick up my chin from the floor...) Congratulations, Val!!!

galing! nice new toy

ang ganda!

Looks good! It should sound Great! Just wondering how the wires go through the length of the tone arm. Is there a channel or hole in the entire length of the arm? Cheers!

There is a continuous channel inside. The arm is made up of 3 thin strips of Kamagong bonded together in a triangular configuration for strength and ease of construction.

WOOOOOOO! That requires a good listening to. Just check to see Soundsmith did not replace the casing with imitation ivory .

Val, mandy,
