Re: flat clamp wanted:

The old Radio Shack $5 (and overpriced at that) clamp (which I think
was/is the same as one of the English tweek company's models OEM'd to
R-S) has a low, flat profile, and comes out to just about the edge of
the label. In cross-section, it is:

                     --------
                     |      |
                     |      |
     ___------------------------------------___
  ------------------------------------------------

or suchlike. Mine grips my Linn-Sondek's spindle with tenacity (the
center hub screws on a split collet that clamps the spindle -- I guess
most use a method like that).

There is a glued-on turntable-speed strobe-marked paper ring on the top
that came unglued on mine; I never bothered to reglue it.

I use it or a little Denon weight (when I'm too lazy to bother with the
clamp) on a Marcof Glasmat. Sounds OK to me...
