Leszek is going to add photo’s of the build, but the specifications are;
3 3/4” narrow, shallow solid core drum with outer ventilation holes.
Dark wooden back to almost look black (sorry I forgot what wood it is). I wanted a small minimalist spine to not detract from the beautiful wood.
Plain copy cat handles of the Hardy conquest design, so the line does not catch, plain yes but the design in my opinion is the best, so why change!
Leszek attached a label stating
Face run out 0.0006”
Periphery T.I.R 0.0006”
I’m not sure what it really means apart from it is precision engineering
My Christmas break at my mums started badly( I won’t bore you) but Leszek has just made it better, thank you so much
