New Technics SL 1200 GAE


Anyone acquired a new Technics DD 1200 GAE? Has anyone not been happy with the stock arm and changed it?

You forgot to complete your sentence..... "what they own is the very best for them"
Ralph, "we couldn't use the screws that hold the platter to the motor unless we drilled holes in the platter pad".

What about something like rubber cement that makes a bond but can be peeled away?  Rubber cement itself may not be best, I don't know how effective that would be between rubber and metal?

More importantly, how many other mats are glued down?  I'm not aware of aftermarket options, but then I never looked for this consideration.
@pryso  The mat employs a permanent-stick mounting with a peel-off. Its not rubber.
