Plan to, but being rather old school and hard headed, I have not yet aquired a digital camera! Trying to sort them out now. To get an idea of what I've been doing looks like, go to vinyle nirvana.com, click on the DIY section, anthony S. has a section. Also in their gallery are tables with the various original Merrill as well as Anthony's versions of these mods.(which as near as I can remember are vertually identical.) I never got around to doing these mods when Merrill offered them, and am excited that they are again available. While these mods cost a few bucks, I was at the point of aquiring a new table and had kind of settled on the VPI HW mk III when they quite making it! While looking around I saw these mods becoming available and decided to update my AR table. It cost considerably less than the table arm combos I was considering. Plus, I'll be keeping an old friend around in the main system. It's a viable choice if you already have an AR that you like. I don't know if I would go this direction If I didn't already have a cosmetically and mechanically excellent condition table, there are many good turntable choices at the same price give or take.
I have been taking these mods in one at a time, and will discuss them later in more detail once I get the platter to match my inner platter, which is already done. Then, the motor and power supply and I'll be done. Well, i might still shop for an additional arm for moving coils.
