Everything I have seen says it is magnesium, including the Technics website.

Looks good too !! Who did the mod ? The armboard ? Have you tried different mats yet? How about record weights ? Did you use it stock for awhile and run the motor in ? I believe that you are the 5th person to mod the Technics w/ Triplanar. I know Ralph has done 4 mods including mine.

Bought the board off of ebay and drilled it myself. I like the Funk Firm mats that is what I am using. Weights, clamps do not make much of a difference but I really have not tried to compare with and without, The VPI weight I just put on for the pictures
