A few observations: I always oriented the ground tabs to the centre of the two jacks, and you’d save yourself some fumbling and warmed fingers by grabbing a pair of needle nose pliers; Reorienting the strain relief clip closest to the arm board 180dg would , I think, provide a bit more slack on the tone arm wires, which some commenters will likely otherwise bemoan; Rather light on the solder on the ground eyelets - I’d pull the twisted shield through a bit further and fold back to proved a better mechanical connection, then flow a bit more solder.
it's not really good to be earthing the chassis out!! that should be taken care from the plug mains end, there's no need to earth separately either. connect it to one of the RCA from the arm is all you need, never mix the two with the chassis ground. u can introduce hum you can find this out by placing the needle on the record when it's not moving! and increasing the volume. you could have added a 500 ohm resistor if you wanted to that would have eliminated the hum. and are those RCA sockets 50 or 75 ohm you need 50?! should have put silver ones on. wire looks too tight for my likening
@@TurntableGuy oh I thought you connected the chassis ground to the output you were talking about the chassis being ground I thought you grounded that to the out.
Good job mate. Connecting the tonearm wire directly to the terminals was a bonus.

we call that stepper bit a "tulip". I did this upgrade to a Dual CS741Q.
When you going to show us the finished speakers?
Still waiting for the grille cloth to show up from Aliexpress. Slow boat from China...
Loctite on threads?
Unless Loctite is electrically conductive, no.
A black ground would look better than blue and is more conventional.
Black Sharpie?

The chassis ground is NOT connected to audio ground. What hum? There is no hum?
Its good to be honnest i guess😂🎉

the nuts must made from brass not steel.....
Why is that?
