A Copernican View of the Turntable System

I can add the Reed arm pod among the commercially available
kind (www.reed.lt ; accessories). But what about a 'sturdy'
one for cheap? I 'assist' ( by looking) my machinist while
he was busy to cut from a billet of bronze a collar for my
Pioneer P-70 tonearm. Not exactly Heureka but some kind of
Aha Erlebnis : this stuff must be very suitable for an arm
pod . Bronze is an alloy so depending on the 'amalgam' heavier or lighter. To add (more) weight one can choose larger diameter,etc. Lew already mentioned where one can get bronze (e.a.) in all kinds of dimensions. For the tonearms with surface fastening one need just 3 holes with thread on each side . By polishing the thing it will look
like made from gold. I assume nobody else got this idea?

Err Nicola,
Did you mean like this?
BRONZE

Here is the link for REED
Do you know the pricing Nicola?
Also.....100mm diamX100mm high is pretty small?

Dear Halcro, I am sorry but 'casting' seems to be some
other kind of animal then cuting from a billet of bronze. I think that you should pay more atention to, uh, 'structural properties' then aesthetics. However I would like to know
what the postage cost from Australia to Holland are.

Dear Halcro, I was the first customer by the Reed company
and ordered both: the tonearm and the arm pod . But specific for my Kuzma Stabi Reference. My arm pod was the first they have produced and of course meant for my
Kuzma. So, I am sure, they will produce whatever a customer want. If I remember well I got both for 1500 Euro. But meanwhile they have importeurs and dealers evrywhere so this means at least twice the price. One can ask Vidmantas about all the details. BTW your comment: 'pretty small' is not appreciated. So to get my
revenge I don't consider you arm pod as beautiful any more.
Regards,
