    I picked up a KD-550 today at a flea market. It's missing the tonearm,one foot, & the name badge,but the price was too good to pass on. I have too much gear as is so I picked it up more on the intent of giving this to a friend. Is there any other budget friendly tonearm similar to the OEM. I...
