Please help me identify this tonearm

[Treker]

I picked up a Denon DP-1250 turntable locally yesterday, and it came with what I thought was a Denon tonearm installed, but now I am not so sure as it doesn't quite look like the Denon tonearms from the late 70s and early 80s, so now I'm wondering what it is? Can anyone help me identify this tonearm based on these pics?

I think it's a denon arm. I don't know exactly what type but it looks very much like the arm on the DP-70m. The dial for the antiskating is different but the gimbal assembly and base for the rest/lift looks to be the same

edit: it's probably the arm of the DP-55L/M

Thanks! You're exactly right. It looks just like the arm on the DP-55M. And a Denon arm makes sense because it came on a Denon turntable and had a Denon headshell as well.

Thanks for the assistance.

What kind of tonearm lifter is that?
I haven't seen one with 2 spring wires.

It's the original AT Safety Raiser which had 2 wires. One is the trip wire and the other is a lock. You can lift it over a tiny knob and it pops into the slot on the piston, preventing it from lifting when the trip lever gets pushed.

Exactly. It seems to work pretty well, but mine is a bit finicky, as the trip wire sometimes doesn't want to stay in the notch in the riser piston, so it takes several tires and often holding the trip wire in place to get it set. But after that, it seems to work well.

I see.
I have a clone of the current AT version.
It's kind of a hassle to setup and adjust the level of tension needed.
