New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice

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.

Jdubs: Have you ever had this table operational and if so than am I incorrect in the assumption the 'Noll needs a air-control-system ? Do you actually possess a super quiet pump ( Akin to a large black pump w/ 3 other smaller, plastic tanks) or perhaps a lessor pump that Maplenoll unfortunately sold to the public? Thanks , Good looking Table !

Readers: Following weeks of fruitless searching , I sourced a plastic air barb @ Grangers that may fit the manifold. The barb stem is slightly larger ; according to the staff , they had nothing elese smaller. With a little experimentation & mod'ing it could do. Friends , please accept this piece of advice. Should you own a early Maplenoll Ariadne and should decide to do a break-down, as I have, remove the plastic air barb from the Bearing Manifold ASAP, securing it in a safe place. All the best.
