In Reply to: Need Thorens 125 Arm board dim for SME III posted by fin1bxn@msn.com on May 15, 2007 at 09:25:30:
Arm board on TD125 mk II is 292mm by 105mm by 12mm thick with a bevel on the inside (left) edge. You'll want to trace the position of the 3 mounting holes and countersink them.
Original is MDF with veneer painted black. I'm working on my TD125 also.

Just one question about the bevel on the left side. If I understand correctly I can just take my router and trim it down half way?Is that enough. Did I understand it?
I'm going out to get a piece of wood and and veneer after woork. I'll probaly stain it the same as the base.
For those who want the Inch conversions
11.5 x 4 3/16 and 7/16" thick 1/2" should work.
The top is 105mm - the bottom is 100mm . The difference is the angle. It's a 2mm flat edge, then about a 30 degree angle in.
The inch conversion sizes you have there are a tad on big side. Just in case you have invested in expensive or exotic wood.
I'm pretty handy, but might not have th eright tools for that. Do you think this is someting I can do with a router?Or maybe I should just cut up the stock board. (It has a TP16 on it)
By any chance are you making one?
Thanks again
It's not crucial to get the angle exact. Yes, it could done with a router or an angled top table saw.
Certainly nothing wrong with using your old one and altering as needed. No, I'm not making one yet. But looking into some padauk wood or similar.
Search the forum on SME iii and you'll see some discussion on the damping and whether people feel it's necessary - IIRC, people came down on both sides of the question.You need both the paddles and the damping fluid to make it work; from what I've gathered from here and elsewhere on the web, there are even different paddles to adjust to different setups, I suppose.
I also just closed a deal recently for an SME III - should have it today - I know it has the damping trough, not sure about the paddle situation. My first task is to get it set up - I'll run without until I get the basic parameters and perhaps try that later on.
I have seen the damping fluid, some of the weights and other bits for SME III's on eBay.
