Johnnyb53,
If someone were to look for that tape, where would he find it? And is "teflon pipe thread tape" the proper name to look for? THANKS!

I dunno man, it's pretty exotic and expensive. :D

If you don't mind paying a whopping $1.47 instead of 28 cents, you could pick up a roll at Walgreen's.

Here's a summary at Wikipedia. It's variously called thread tape, PTFE tape, plumber's tape, thread seal tape, Teflon tape, or some combination such as Teflon thread seal tape.

Thanks, Johnny. Cost be damned. I'm going for the $1.47 stuff. Appreciate it.

A Rega or Origin LIve tone arm can be used with this adapter:

was wondering if anybody had info on tonearm upgrades for the 1100a?

It is not an uncommon practice to use this arm board to mount a Rega or Origin tonearm on a SL-1200 TT. Don't know about a 1100a. Does it have a removeable arm? I'd contact the arm adapter manufacturer.
