wooden tonearm. cld diy

If this is for personal use why not run the wires on the outside of the tonearm (experiment with different wire and wire surrounds - cotten, et cetera)?

I you are really clever/simple then a few well chosen twists of the wire (below the arm's pivot point) would then become the anti-skating feature of your DIY arm.

Drum sticks. LOL YUP I’ve seen a few.

Glued side by side, run the wires down the V between the two.
You can run a silicone tubes with 1 SC wire each, 3 per side.
We used 2 silk socks the ground wire usually teflon and the + / L and R were exposed but in TWO silks. We talking SOTA of today 45-50 years ago..

WE didn’t have silicone tubing back then, It would have bankrupted you. LOL I don’t know.. Silicone 50 years ago.. was REAL expensive.

We use to get it in two parts. Vinegar and Raw silicone.. You mix it right, you could pour it.. WRONG!, it would flake and make a mess.. It was how we use to quiet up the aluminum BTT platters.. Fairchild required it on their 16 and 20" aluminum billet platters.. Sure worked..

They had 18 and 20" special order wands... A lot of that STUFF went to Japan.. The money they would pay back then for US made gear.. They made great fractional HP motors too, actually the best. just don’t say that out loud..

Drum Sticks... YUP...
