Re: A unipivot made from scrap

Re: A unipivot made from scrap

Dont really know yet, it was not particularly impressive yesterday with its issues, the changing azimuth being the one needing particular attention. Wonky azimuth isnt going to do the records or the stylus any good so i will reserve judgement until ive fixed that properly. I also need to see how muc...

Re: A unipivot made from scrap

The silicone tubing and the wiring arrived today, so a 100mm piece has been shoved up the arm tube to damp it, and the arm wand and pillar epoxied together.
