New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice

Readers : This project has taken on many facets that I did not appreciate in the beginning. This is a journey not just a destination. Its my intention to create new bounds for the 'Nolls. Ideas that transend the moment or money. But, I have learned this project can not exist in a vaccume. Today, I requested assistance from Piedpiper , an expert in outboard motors ,to assist me & perhaps create other optons in arm tubes. I hope he can assist.

Piedpiper has agreed to join in the project , in a couple of months. He's currently on the road. The schedule is OK with me , another Christmas present is a good thing.

Yours truly dropped the oil trough on a cement floor, cracked the paint work. Another stop @ Fine Finishes for a redo and some oak work and pegs to fill the open holes left when the electronics were removed. In the works, a brass plate same size as the base plate, inscribed ARIADNE REFERENCE , Serial NO. 1800, to be placed on front of the Air Manifold. I will then post several shots of the Table , awaiting Piedpipers assistence.

We are all in for a treat, this Table looks sweet. I hope it surprises me in terms of performace.

FYI : I'm awaiting on Piedpiper to have some free time to construct the motor mount. For now, my Rig is down . All tube gear and some digital are at Eric Falkehan's shop for inspection and repair should that be required. This is preventive in nature. While all else is out of the house some changes are being worked out for the listening room.

A couple of weeks ago I purchased a pair of Allen Organ Amps-75A's. Soon they will undergo a rebab/mod for home use. Despite the hard industral look , their articulation is shocking. Perhaps one of the greatest amps ever made , provided you know what your doing in the change-over.

Crem,

just back from RMAF and back in the saddle. Still very busy but exploring ideas for motor mounts. I'll be redoing mine and in the process refine my ideas for yours. I'm also considering a Teres Verus motor/rim drive, available in two heights: 4.3" or 6.1". Could be an interesting way to go.
