DIY air pressure regulator for an ET-2 tonearm?

Posted by troporobo on September 21, 2008 at 18:20:08:
I've recently acquired an ET-2 tonarm and have been planning a project. In the course of my web searches, I found reference to a DIY air pressure regulator. This sounds like something I would like to explore further. Does anyone have scans of the relevant ariticles, or links to a similar project? I realize this is all very dated, but maybe there are a few other luddites out there who have hung onto the info. Any leads will be much appreciated!

Quote from the review:

"The May 1993 issue of The Absolute Sound had a rave review of the Motronix Acuflow Air Regulator. The word through the audiophile grapevine subsequent to that article was that the Motronix was a must upgrade for anyone with an ET II tone arm. The $500 price, however, discouraged many from buying it. Fortunately, there is now an alternative. In Volume 2, Issue 1 (page 44) of the audiophile voice, David Nemzer related how he discovered a company that would supply the parts needed to build a Motronix-like air regulator."
