An armboard plate to allow easy installation of SME 3009 and SME M2-9 tonearms to Thorens TD-160, TD-145, TD-165, TD-166, TD-166 MKII, TD-160MKII, TD-160 Super and TD-147 turntables. 

Unlike other manufactured armboards, these are ONE PIECE of high quality machined aluminum, clear anodized and brushed. See the attached pictures of what can happen if your two piece armboard eventually unglues! Yes, these other two piece armboards on the market are held together with only glue,no rivets. 

While you are looking at pictures, also check out the one side by side comparing the Vinyl Nirvana armboard to the one currently on the market: their holes are out of round, glue protrudes from the underside, and the brushed finish is uneven. The Vinyl Nirvana armboard is on the LEFT. I encourage you to use the "magnifier" option when viewing my pictures.  Compare what you see here to what others are offering. Our fit-n-finish will not be beat!

Included with your armboard are three stainless steel screws for attaching the plate to the table and four stainless steel screws for attaching the arm to the armboard. 

Note: Turntable and tonearm in the photos are for illustration purposes only. I am an SME dealer; contact me if interested in a great price on an SME M2-9 or 9R.

Note: Installation of your tonearm will require some removal of metal from the Thorens subchassis. This can be done by file, grinder, or Dremel.  (I prefer the Dremel with a metal grinding wheel...the Thorens subchassis cuts like butter with that!)

Shipping fee includes insurance. Items will be bagged (screws separately) then boxed, then bagged in a padded envelope.
