Can any WT Simplex owners measure their arm for me? I'd like to know the exact length, minus the rubber stoppers on each end. I'd also like to know the distance from the tube front to the center mounting screw for the cartridge bracket... Lastly, ...

Can WT Simplex owner tell me the exact length of the armtube (not counting the black rubber stoppers of each end)? Can you then tell me the distance from the front of the armtube to the center the mounting bracket for the cartridge?  Thanks in adv...

Sorry, I see you told me the arm is slightly smaller than 1/4" d... which probably makes it 6mm. My brother was bothering me about my arm being too thin (6mm) so I ordered 7mm carbon fiber rods. Probably should have left well enough alone... Can y...

Yeh, it's a great azimuth solution. When I modded an original WT arm and then built my own clone, I saw both partial twist and full twist online... and finally modded my arm with a thinner 1/4" suspension post, making sure to give the grommet a fu...

In the past, I've used a 6mm od diameter carbon fiber rod (4mm id). 6mm us slightly smaller than 1/4". From what I see, a standard arrow shaft is 5/16" od, which would make it 7.9mm od. Any way you can confirm your arm's diameter? Also, how does t...

Understood - no need to unmount anything! I see that top hole as where a screw inserts down into the ball half, then the arm tube is inserted. Of course, they could be joined with epoxy, which is what I might do. On an assembly line, screws and no...

mr_m, it dawned on me that I could 3D print a similar connector to what the Amadeus ll uses to attach the ball and arm (why not make it more like the upscale model rather than the Simplex...). Can you tell me a little about the piece that connects...

My base for the Simplex plinth turned out great - it's the same 15" x 15" x 1.25" size of the plinth - a matte black metal picture frame filled with 3 layers of ply. I moved the squash balls to the bottom of the base and separated the base and pli...

The Simplex plinth I bought has the set screws. A friend is making the pot for me according to your measurements (he’s printing it 3D out of grey plastic). I bought a regulated AC to DC power supply and the motor turned nicely. I am making the pil...

Correction, I’m making both Denril and aluminum versions of the pillar.

mr_m, thanks for this detailed description - I thought of keeping the cylinder bottom of the cup unit solid as well to add mass. Can you tell me the length of you suspension arm? I understand that the arm is 3.8" from plinth to top of arm (for the...

So, the visible part of the cup above the plinth top is 1.5" and that the bottom part of the cup is rounded - a half sphere - and the cup looks is a test-tube shape.

Mr_m, can you verify the cup dimensions again? Cup height is 3-3/8? Cup depth is 1-1/2"... is the cup very thick at the bottom to add mass? How deep is the Amadeus plinth?  Thanks for the info on the connector, ac adapter and squash balls. Have yo...

How do the feet come off? They seem very tightly screwed on... hesitant to use too much force. I understand that the feet need to be rotated occasionally because they compress over time.
