yeah i got one already thanks. for the most part they pop up randomly buddy got ads for 600 or 650 shipped. i got sds for a little more.... but most of them hold firm.

I have an aries 3 regular with acrylic and such and it is a great turntable. If you got the one i a saw listed before then you got a sweet setup and probably one that rivals todays offerings.

Hi - They should be but, you can also call them, might be a faster response. Michael

Hi - not sure about the posts not accepting the cable, but you an always open the junction box and see the cables inside of it. I the 2 screws should just come off and the top comes off.

Hi - No the ring should have no dents in it and should be smooth so it can lay on the edge of the record. Michael

Darling MP-7B is amazing, i have one of those and second that. The owner is also very very responsive and the company is good also.

I recall seeing this on a the facebook group that someone do this on a prime signature i think? Seemed to fair ok for them but not really sure of the details. Here is a pic i dug up of it. it does look cool.

thank you. i guess that makes sense i am unable to really tell but that could make sense since the 16.5 notch is correct and the old one works.

the bottom (with the bigger ring) was the older original one. The other one is the newer one. what does that one go to then? Is that for another model? Does anyone have a cutout of the cyclone? by eye it looks like it lines up on the center pin but it does not seem to. well not sure at this point if the holder is wrong i wonder what it is for then? thanks michael

Hello here are the two pics one of the new one alone and one of both holders. Good to hear that stop pin is correct.

Hello, No i do not think it is at 3 o'clock. It looks a little lower, i included a pic taken of it. Were these in different positions on the 16.5? So do we have different tubes, tube holders and plinth holes on these? So does this machine not work with new 16.5 tube holders? Are they not standard? Is there a way to fix? Thank you michael

Hello thanks for the response. The old wand I have and the holder does not have the notch. It is the older one before the notch. So are the the wands all different between the 16.5 and others? i thought the wands were all the same except the tube holder? The two different for the cyclone and 16.5? thanks michael

Hello just wanted to follow up and see if there are any ideas? thank you.

Hello @orthobiz thanks for that, yeah i have been tracking them for a while was maybe hoping to find one a little cheaper i know they do pop at times. :) thank you michael

Hi @Mat Weisfeld - thank you for your help and response. I believe it could be an earlier VPI 16.5. I have attached the badge from the back but i believe the SN is 9738. I attached a pic of the old one and the new one together as well as a video showing the old one. Are the notches in the tube holders different by a few mm? Thank you Michael
