Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me anything about this tonearm?
The headshell is a complete mystery to me as well. Never really seen anything like this.

Technics tonearm, looks like from a SL-1200MKII.

Yep it is! The sl1200 arm a great arm especially with damper. Never seen one on a different turntable though.

Yeah, the fluid damper really brings cartridges to life, especially Grado!

The headshell's arm lift has been rotated back towards to pivot.
