Over the holidays I came across this Tonearm while window shopping and I could not resist the temptation after see the quality of the build.
It is all steel and well designed. The two issues are a very slow weeping O ring in the base of the hydraulic arm lift.

The other issue is the secondary base is missing but I found someone who has the Tonearm with a base, so when he has time to remove it from his turntable he will send me the measurements
and my son has offered to make up a set of proper electronic engineer drawings and I will get it manufactured as there are companies who will do one off parts
for a reasonable price.

The diffucult part will be figuring out the finish so the new base and the rest of the tonearm match.
