Sort of an offbeat request, but does anyone here have a Technics SL1200 series turntable they might be willing to take a couple of digital photos of?

I need a shot directly from above the turntable capturing the (complete) tone arm in as much detail as possible. If anyone can help me out, let me know.

I'm back to searching the net for a suitable image, but so far not much luck. Everything is either very small or not shot directly from above.

Can't remember which model I have, but I'll check tonight.

This is the best shot I have right now. Unfortunately it isn't as high resolution as I'd prefer and the tone arm is a bit out of focus.

Web design or software project?

Web design. I can easily illustrate one based on the small images I have, but right now I'm leaning toward the look provided by a real photograph.

Hmm...mine doesn't quite look like that one. I must have a different model. It's pretty beat up, too, so I'm not sure how much good it'll be to you. Still, I'll check it out when I drop by my folks' place tonight (haven't moved everything - including the turntable - into my new place yet).

I've managed to composite together something suitable from various sources. A lot more work than having taken a photo myself, but then I don't have an SL1200 to shoot.

Sorry, mine was a different model. Probably not as nice, either, but hey, it was $12 at a garage sale.
