Tonearm Base Is Drilled for Which Tonearms?

Thanks, Yogiboy. I did not know that Homedepot did such detailed cutting!

Hi Franz,I just took a look at your base. I made a mistake. I don't think they would cut that shape. But maybe a woodworker would do that. Find out before you take the plunge. Good luck!

Yes, Yogiboy, getting a second simple straight cut of wood at Homedepot has often overtaxed my limited powers of persuasion.
Yes, a woodworker could make the tonearmbase. I may try to do it myself, but don't have woodworker tools (other than basic saws and handheld drills) or skills. My second tonearm I plan to use initially just to play records in less than perfect condition. So an inexpensive tonearm and cartridge on an imperfect tonearmbase rough-out of wood would be sufficient for this purpose. Eventually I'd like to get good third tonearm quite different from the Clarify, one which I could interchange with the second inexpensive tonearm.

I think that would be a good move. As long as you don't need the same shape board. Hey why not give it a go! Have some fun.
