Really not in the mood to hunt for an arm that may or may not be readily available.
It looked like the modern Techniks tables with the RPM timing light and cue switch...don't even have to touch the arm unlike my Pioneer which needs lots of guidance
why not look on eBay for a good used Technics? they're really good and a lot cheaper than a new one. for example, I've got a Technics SL-220. It's "just" a belt drive, so there's a little wow, but it's usually not detectable. Still sounds great though. In fact, I'm listening to some Chopin records I just found on it, and they're great!
Although I
do want a Direct Drive turntable. I'll just add it to the "buy when I've got the money" list...
