The German AC motor sits in a separate housing which then sits on a cork base within the wooden section of the plinth.
The main bearing and mounting board of the arm is rigidly linked. Both are bolted to a 1 cm thick alloy plate which sits via three alloy cylinders onto the wooden part of the plinth.
The drive is taken via a fishing-line, nylon thread .
