I need some Tonearm ID Help Please!

[ehoove]

I have not been able to ID this tonearm It came with the Thorens TD125 MkII AB Table I picked up, and it is mounted to the TD125 Armboard which has a din connector attached. Anyone have an idea?

Regards,
Jim

Reminiscent of the Micro Seiki 202, but some of the details does not match. :scratch2:

It sure does look like a Micro, and that's a Micro headshell (which doesn't guarantee anything about the arm itself). It also looks a lot like a 303, but doesn't exactly match that either.:scratch2:

EDIT: I'm now 99% sure it's an MA-303. I found a picture that looks almost exactly like it.

I think we have a winner! Anyone with info on, or knowledge of this arm? It certainly seems well built and a rather heavy arm at that.
Thanks guys,
Jim

Solid 5 is a model of turntable, not the arm.

Here is a link to the audio heritage Japan site - Micro Seiki MA-303 page.

There should be translation from your web browser.

I'm aware of that, but the arm is the one on that table, not the MA-303. It is a variant of the MA-303 which moves the antiskate to the inside and adds a armrest to the base.

It looks pretty nice. Will you be using it and giving us your impressions?

Actually, I plan to mount it on the TD150AB and move the Jelco 750D/AT 33Mono Limited Edition combo to the new modern table I'm getting which will accommodate 2 arms! :^)
More to Follow,
