Any Technics 1200GR Owners With Arm Upgrades?

One of our members uses a SL1200G and added an Origin Live arm.  A new arm board had to be made.  I believe member and manufacturer Atmosphere did the mod.

Contact Jeff at Audiomods - he made a mounting plate for the arm a friend of mine  ordered from him for a similar turntable

His arms are spectacular as well

Nice. Thanks for the feedback! Anyone else have ideas or experience on this?

I like doing mechanical and car/engine type work...but I am very intimated messing with setting up Turntables.

Is this the correct audiomods Mr. Wonka? Thanks again!

Yes.

I would like to find some kind of arm board or pod I could mount a second arm to my 1200gr for 78’s. Eventually, I’m going to get a higher end TT ( maybe a 1200g) and dedicate the GR for 78s

I installed a TRU-GLIDER PENDULUM FLOATING TONEARM on my SL1200GAE and it’s incredible.  

Nice Lance! Where did you find that? Did it take much modification?

@charcoalchuck ,

One of the reasons I chose it was that there is no modification.

Appreciate the link lancelock!

@ralph@atma-sphere.com has also mounted a Triplaner i believe… an incredible arm.

I designed an armboard to replace the stock arm location. I've mounted only Triplanars on the SL1200 so far. Its a great machine- IMO the arm is one of the weak points, along with the platter pad. When those two things are sorted IMO the 'table is world class price no object.

Nice Ralph!  I am novice enough to not fully understand what you mean but I would love to learn! Any links I can read and explore? Thanks everyone!

This is one we did a few years ago.
