New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice

That's a good question. I have no recommendation one way or another. I suspect the rim rider will not be acceptable for any of the earlier TT without modification, & that may apply to later models. Perhaps Chris could view the photo's on this site and the 'noll mod and make a judgement. If that's not enought, Chris may directly contact me since I am rebuilding a Ari, having 18 plus years of experience with the Tables.

Maplenoll'ers: FYI, AG AD#1224107516 for Maplenoll Ari. Signature (70lb. platter) w/ Walker extras (NOTE : no air pump that's $400-$800 lay-out)Asking price, $3250.00 US.

Further observation : For those interested in the Signature Table , just a reminder the table does not appear to have a complete air control system (DIY $200-$300 US), that's in-addition to the need for a silent air pump. Also, the pictures do not appear to show all parts for the oil bath unit, better ask about that. Note: The air bearing plates are identical to those in all 'Nolls including mine. All the best.

Nice looking table on AGon! Actually its mine...so, indeed, very nice looking :)

Yes, would need a pump and whatever you want to do for regulation. I had the stock super silent pump and it was a low pressure unit that was unimpressive to say the least. Based on what I've heard / read...Jun-Air is a good way to go.

Also, all the parts for the oil bath are there. The "dip stick" (part of the head-shell) is a separate piece that connects to the arm tube. I've got it in a plastic bag along with a spare belt. Also, its worth pointing out that part of what I bought from Lloyd is an extra arm tube with a brass head shell (w/ "dip sick") attached.

Happy to answer any questions.

The "stock super quiet pump" puts out about 45 psi in this application, which is sufficient if not absolutely optimum. Mine has worked flawlessly for over 16 years with minimal upkeep.
