Here is another still extracted from Rega's '50x 33 and a Third' anniversary video. This particular shot illustrates a very interesting difference in generator assembly method between old and new in that the coil cores/pole extensions have been made singular. This allows for a fundamental structural change wrt anchoring these at the back end of the cartridge body/rear terminals plate interface.
FYI, Rega's existing 4 x coils assembly is pre-assembled, consisting of folded and crossed conjoined pairs which necessitated Rega having potted these in adhesive all these years. Anchoring these individual coil/pole assemblies either end, plus potting compound (likely), should make for a dramatic internal structural improvement to the generator elements, this combined with even higher precision wrt generator alignment within.
Of course, this isn't the most exciting development. Stay turned for further spy photo instalments!
