I use this BR12 mat on my 1200MK7 with a Michell "R" clamp. Works great to firmly clamp the record to the platter and also flatten out certain types of dish warps. The thick mat also has a damping effect I like.

Thanks David. Similarly I have the aluminium version (MJ12) for my SL1210 mk2 and it does a great job on there, I was shocked when I saw how the price has gone up in 8 years. Initially I popped that on my SL-DL1 just to check the extra height wasn't a problem, but I like the MJ12 on my SL1210 and wasn't drilling 6 holes in that for the disk size LED's under the SL_DL1's platter. The BR12 is really nice and I agree with your points about the design. Whilst I haven't played any LP's yet, the BR12 absorbs any platter ringing so would expect similar control over any record resonances, especially as I'll be using a clamp. Also a Michell clamo but with a home made acrylic that ensures clearance from the underhang of the SL-DL1 lid and dustcover. |

I did the same on my SL-7's cartridge mounting, that is to drill out the near side so I can slide the T4P locking screw straight across and then just turn it into the threads on the far side. |

That modification makes locking the T4P carts much easier. I must admit in some cart comparisons I was just sliding them in without the screw.
I just popped an LP in the SL-7 and pressing the play button is so easy compared to cueing. Plus you get a bit longer to sit down before the music starts!

This morning I searched for the T4P cartridge spec which filled gaps in my knowledge like it is 20mm from the back of the cartridge to the stylus. Morris Minor (Bob) had warned me that many P4's were not T4P, I see now it can mean compliance, SRA, and overhang may be wrong so not square in the groove. I know from pivot arm modelling the tracing arc and angular error of cartridges in Excel that a shorter screws to stylus dimension makes a difference, especially on the inner grooves. My SME arm has fixed screw holes not slots so a slightly different alignment results.

Some May remember my SL-7 with its runaway speed issue, discussed earlier in this thread. Six months ago I delivered it to a guy in Bolton hoping that he could repair it. Today he emailed, “Hello Ifor , …It’s defeated successful repair so far !! , despite several attempts. I’ve seen a few of these before but this one is a weird one. Let me know if you want to leave with me , or if you want to collect I’ll reassemble it”. |

Sorry Ifor. That is really bad news. I am curious what causes this loss of speed control to happen in one of these Technics but more sorry your SL-7 isn't running.
