ADM NEQ-6 Puck

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for an ADM brand or similar NEQ-6 puck, preferably with 2 inch hole spacing. Please advise if you have one to sell.

Best
JA

I may have one. I have attached photos. Is this possibly what you're after?

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your response, but unfortunately looking at it I can tell that it has the wrong style of circular dovetail to suit my NEQ6.

Thanks and Best

Neq6 Puck

Hi Chris,
I may have one.
It has an ADM saddle attached from memory with two holes 50mm apart.
Will check this evening. Can split from base if required. I’m based in Melbourne.
Cheers Pete.

That's great Pete. I look forward to hearing from you. If you could PM me details of the saddle that also may be of interest depending on which style.

^Thanks for checking Pete.

Unfortunately the puck was for a HEQ5 so I'm still looking for a NEQ-6 type ADM puck with or without the saddle, depending on saddle type...

Hi JA,
The difference between "Old" and "New" pucks are not that large, you can modify "old" (EQ6) by adding a spacer ring as shown on the pic below.
(I had the opposite problem - wide ADM saddle came with "new" puck so I had to machine it to fit my EQ6 mount).

I dug into my old stuff and have what I recalled using in my NEQ-6 mount, not sure if it is ADM or not.
Diameter is about 76mm, thickness about 20mm, and with a hollowed out "cavity" on the underside of about 61mm.
It started out in life with 3 (or maybe 4) neatly drilled threaded holes. Certainly the closed two are about 37mm apart. I have since *******ized it a bit, and have drilled and tapped 4 more. Looking on the bright side, it's a weight saving idea. Pics may or may not help.
