All done! Hit a few set backs but worked through it. What are your thoughts?

Good job! Personally I am not a fan of the gold flakes detail, but looks good nonetheless. :tup:

I'm not crazy bout the speckle myself, but still looks like a damn fine job.:tup:

I don't think the pics do justice to the silver and red flakes but it definitely isn't for everyone. I am a nerd for flakes in the clear coat. Under RBG lighting they look spectacular.

If you are referring to the adapter which connects the tonearm to the bridge, then no. I like to keep the tonearm original. I was thinking about briefly though as I flirted with the idea of re-coating the "s-tube", but that lasted for all of 10 seconds.

Looks really clean and professional, great work? I am currently working on rehabbing my MK2's. They are already in great shape but I have the gold plated RCA's being replace, internally ground and thinking of painting option at this point. Either powder coat or automotive paint and doing it myself.
