My money is on it being something that can be found with a bit of digging about on the web. 

 

Get a screw-checking tool and see what it is. If all else fails take your good screw to a machine shop and ask them to ID it. Explain your plight and slip the guy enough cash to buy a cheeseburger. 

 

If it is a "slightly more obscure" part:

smallparts.com

is another good supplier for parts that follow really obscure standards.

I'd be surprised if that's not a fairly common threaded rod or stud.  

 

If you can get the old one out, it shouldn't be hard to get a replacement once you identify the diameter and threads per inch.  A site like this can help you with what measurements to take and have charts you can use to help with identification.  http://mdmetric.com/tech/tic1e.htm

 

Good luck.

There is a Nott Hyperspace on Audiogon that is a couple of hours from me. An early birthday present dew eet or not? I have a Spacedeck which I love.

 

IIRC someone told me the heavy platter for the Spacedeck was a down grade. So I am not sure if it's a similar thing with the really high mass Hyperspace platter?

The two recent feedbands releases. These are now 180g pressings. They release standard black, and heavy color.

The Parlez - Glisten

Amycanbe - Mountain Whales

Really like both of these releases - I have not spun the Amycanbe (smoke) vinyl yet... but looking forward to it from the download. 

 

Cheers,

From the engineer of Micro Seikis. TechDas Air Force 2... drool

 

-Air bearing and vacuum hold-down techniques, which have been transmitted from Air Force One.
-Sits on four feet, employing a newly developed oil damping air suspension system.
-Platter weighing 10 kg is machined precisely out of solid aluminum (A5056)
-Chassis frame structure made of aluminum casting (AC4C) achieves maximum intensity and workability. Dual layer structure has successfully increased vibration absorption and lowered center of gravity.
-Fits with a 9 or 10 inch tonearm on the regular right hand side position. Also, a second 9, 10 or 12inch tonearm can be mounted with an optional extra tonearm base on the rear left hand side.

Unsure that kind of control is the best way to get a steady speed on a rubber belt drive high inertia heavy platter system. Interesting nonetheless, but I'm afraid more expensive than I ever would dream to spend in a turntable.

Big win tonight.  Had a niece's husband call me a few weeks back asking about entry-level tables.  He was looking towards the AT LP120, although I told him they would get more out of the Music Hall USB-1 table instead.  Thinking he wouldn't act on it, I sortof forgot about the discussion.  But I saw her tonight and she was thankful and elated: the Music Hall turntable was totally cool and sounded great for her.  She was already scouting for new records and was enjoying the vinyl sound.  Score!

image that has been posted around various forums since '09.. yawn...

 

(Read your welcome PM)

 

'09, really? That's truly fascinating, as I took it about 18 months ago. There's less space in the shelves now. Would you like me to shoot a new pic just for you?

 

BTW, the original pic (shot sometime around '99) was made into a meme (not by me) and has made its way around the forums. I can post the actual pic, if you prefer that, instead.

Yes. Please include your whisky collection in the picture.
