Tonearm Identification

[Vinylbeast]

Hello!

Found a Thorens TD124 today in a storage unit and no tonearm was mounted on board but laying with it was this arm. I can't find any writing or anything. Anybody know what it is? Is it worth re-wiring? Someone has ripped out the red wire further up into it, I can see it coming into the downtube but doesnt come out the end. Appreciate any help!!

Stumping everyone it seems....

Usually only very good arms are mounted on a TD124, and very good arms are well known. I think that was an obscure arm off of an abscure table. Doesn't look like high end quality like some of the Japanese arms I know of.
Maybe post it on Vinyl Engine, they have a long running thread on identifying tonearms.

looks like some sort of Ortofon arm

My money is on Japanese, @KentTeffeteller ?

I agree, Japanese origin. Looks like Japan Piezo origin to my eye. Correct me if I am wrong. A very decent arm when working correctly.

It reminds me of the arm I had on an older Sony.
