I think that’s where the lead weight is it produces a distinctly higher note I can’t quite see where the lead weight is, the Dec needs to be in a better position. If you continue tapping every few militmetres as you move around the chassis the note goes lower. The lowest note being produced around where the motor fits. I suspect that where the arm fits will perhaps be the same but it’s quite difficult to get my big fingers in. I believe this could do with damping to try and get the same note all round. I will try and do this at the weekend.
It is such an easy thing to check you can even do it with a record playing.
Id love to hear your thoughts, should we really looking for the same note from anywhere on the chassis? Or is that going to kill the sound and make it lifeless. I was suprised just how different it sounded from front to back. My thoughts are it should be the same all round.
