This cleaning arm encourages the DIY Audiophile enthusiast to utilise this Sweep arm on many alternative Turntables to the original fit Transcription Turntables.
Although originally designed for use on Transcription Turntables, it is possible to utilise double sided sticky pads to mate the bottom base plate of the sweep arm to the plinth of most turntables.
Alternatively drill a 4.0mm hole through the turntable plinth at a suitable location subject to the appropriate plinth design, capable of receiving the sweep arm and secure using the supplied washer and wingnut.
To adjust the height of the sweep arm, one would need to cut down the threaded bar to an appropriate height to suite the platter / record playing surface height relative to the plinth mounting position.
