Re: A unipivot made from scrap

I originally wanted the effective mass to be around 9/10g so that it would be fairly universal in terms of the cart compliance, so the 8.8 it was was about right. Without the damping in, the first carbon fibre wand came out about 7g which was abit too low, so the damping was adding a fair bit of mas...

Re: A unipivot made from scrap

The change that has made the most difference i think is the much smaller amount of damping in the arm tube. The reason for the ally cart mount is to get the effective mass back up after removing the damping in the tube, and the ally stub was because the setscrew in the counterweight was gouging the ...

Re: AT450E/OCC - opinions?

These at moving magnets are my go to carts. Ever since i heard the 440mlb. Ive used the at150sa, at150mlx, vm540ml and vm760slc. Plus the body you have with the atn 155lc. The 760slc is the new equivalent of that combo with the special line contact stylus. The best value cart in the range at the mom...

Re: AT450E/OCC - opinions?

Perfectly adequete, basically the same as the old 120e

Re: Nothing In Particular

Apparently im decorating the living room. Dont know why, its only 10 years since it was done last.
Not entirely sure where im supposed to put everything thats actually in the living room while it is done.
The amount of work involved just to move things out appears to be astronomical.

Re: A unipivot made from scrap

Well the teeth knashing issues with unipivots ive used have all been pretty much the same. (Mayware, nima, decca international) Counterweights with offset holes are a pain in the arse as the azimuth and tracking force adjustments are altered by each other. The mayware counterweight will also eventua...
