Big Bill
Summertime Rolls.....
I recently acquired (from an AK member) a “like new” Linn Basik LVX tonearm for use with my `62 Empire TT, which left me in need of an armboard. After researching the subject I ultimately decided on a custom solid walnut armboard in an attempt to keep with the aesthetics of the original solid walnut base of the Empire. My wood working skills are slim to none, so I commissioned a friends father who builds furniture as a hobby to perform the task for me. I brought the TT to his shop and explained to him the general function of an armboard. I shared with him the basic design I had in mind with the understanding he would make the final “artistic” design decisions. I must say that I’m very pleased with the ultimate result! Please let me know what you think of them. :yes:
