PCTI tonearm by rauliruegas

@rauliruegas , I hope you find that investor. Have you thought of teaming up with an established manufacturer? As an example Frank Schroder has designed an arm Soundsmith is going to make. He frequently licenses others to make his arms. They have the headaches and he collects royalties. I know Sota is thinking about making an arm but their tables are not very flexible. 9" arms only need apply. 
How did you manage to make the prototype? Tonearms are very simple devices but they can be a bear to manufacture. (unless you are making a unipivot which I know you would never do)

Dear @mijostyn : Thank's for the advise.

We make the prototypes through the CNC company that owned my friend and his partner, I explain this in one of my posts. No, it's not an unipivot.

Yes, we can think that tonearms " are very simple devices " but as you said " they can be a bear to manufacture ".
The easy or hard task to manufacture depends on its overall design and the grade of accuracy you decided to machine the whole parts.

Our design comes with accuracy at " extreme " and in reality is a true " precision instrument " to achieve its unique characteristics to performs at true high quality levels.

It's designed to fulfill cartridges needs and at the same time to be an user friendly device.

The extreme part is really in relation to the bearings but there is also a lot of materials science involved. But the foundation is a clever design. Give us an example of a tonearm that you wished you had designed. For me it would be the Schroder LT.

hoho I'm building one frank schroeder tonearm.. x finger. the cnc part is on process
. any thoughts and ideas welcome on the wooden shaft or any others. 

Too bad lewm cannot upgrade to Essential 3180 preamp.
