I'll post pictures of the new setup as soon as I get everything back together.

Can't wait to seem them! Odd about the mounting base, do you think it could have been altered before?

Here is the unusual Fletcher L'Artiste tonearm and reproducer... the main reason I changed out the Jewel tonearm and reproducer was that it was a little too short. I had this Fletcher tonearm for several years with no mounting base, but I sent the dimensions to Ken Brekke and he sent me this brass mounting base which he wasn't sure about its origins. It really wasn't the "correct" base, but since it matched up and with a little re-engineering, it works perfectly. This tonearm is cast brass and very high quality compared to most other pot metal tonearms of that period... I am really pleased with the results and it plays beautifully...
