Mystery Tonearm

[Cody land]

Here’s a photo of a tonearm on my Denon DP-2000 direct drive table. Does anyone out there recognize this baby? It’s at least 35 years old. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks. Cody

AudioCraft AC-300 MK2 I think.

Yes it is an Ultracraft AC300 MK 2 uni-pivot tonearm, very nice indeed.

As evidence, here is my AC-300.

Bet you like that arm, I know I would

 

[Montycat]

I do! I wish I could find the original lighter counterweight though. It would have have come with 2 but I only have the heavy one, which is fine for the headshell you see in my pic. It would not work with the headshell in the first pic in this thread. I have others that sort of work but are not quite right.

But heck, I am going to be in Japan in a few days, so just maybe I can find one.

Is that a multi section weight?

Is that a multi section weight?

Kind of. It has an extendable rear section that makes it in effect even heavier.
