Checking out the Atlas page @ Rega brings up a description of the Advanced drive belt - very strange.
I thought that everyone used the cheap drug scales from eBay.
I do.

You are over 60 so they are all free!!!I have the scales.... but if you could put me onto the cheap drugs I'd be grateful...
Looking into getting an Atlas from the local distributor, and it seems that people here are pretty happy with theirs.
To me, accuracy and repeatability are crucial, which is why the Atlas is quite appealing. Without commenting the price, I have two questions for owners here:
(*) Here is a recent photo showcasing those "protrusions":
- Have you had any issues with accuracy / repeatability?
- More importantly, can anyone send a closeup to the cartridge platform? I am wondering how it would work with my EMT which has protrusions (*) "hugging" the cantilever.
P.S. Perhaps @paul darwin can help with #2 and some clarification?
Should be no problem with the EMT on the Atlas. Here is my Allaerts and Atlas. The Atlas is a top quality item - really happy with mine.
I have the Rega Atlas and the results are absolutely NOT repeatable. I weigh, lift the arm, lower the arm without moving anything… results are different every time. Off by about .5 every time. I boxed it and never used it again. I use a cheaper one now. It was soooo expensive and equally frustrating. This is the mark 1 version, I bought it brand new. Maybe the mark 2 has improved on this?
