Parrotbee, Metric pitch is not measured in "threads per inch". The inch is not a unit of distance in the metric system. However, one inch = 25.4 mm. The millimeter, etc, IS a unit of distance in metric. If you count 25 threads per inch, that would equate to one thread per mm, which is expressed as a (metric) pitch of 1.0. In the metric system, THAT is a standard pitch, albeit a "fine" pitch for an M30 part. (Metric has "coarse" and "fine", much like SAE.). The platter retaining ring for my SP10 Mk3 is M18X1.0, for another example.
Help me with a Fidelity Research FR64 part
I got a mint FR64 tonearm at a great price. Sadly there was a catch it did not have the nut that fastens the arm at the base. It is a really fine thread (25 threads per inch) in fact my machinist doesn't have tooling for this.
so I want to know if anyone out there knows where I can get the said nut, or if they have one they can sell me - thanks
