System edited: added two pics of trial dampening system. I moved the stock trough to place directly under the air spindle and use a tapered pin connected to the arm tube clamp. Easy mod to make

Koegz: I have drooled over the walker website and various reviews. I have followed your thread on your purchase. It is my dream to own one. I truely believe the maplenoll was the inspiration for the walker table as lloyd was a distributor and you find many of the features remarkably similar. I also plaguerized many of the concepts on his table to come up with my design upgrade on the maplenoll. I have since added the dampening trough right below the arm spindle in a similar fashion. I am still tweaking this but it is an improvement in that it does not swing over the record any more. Thanks for the kind words. How does your walker sound! I am jealous:)
