Hi all, just a quickie here Tessera: I went to an Independent Grocer and found Cameo right there on the shelf, also often found in Loeb's or Loblaws, if not indeed at the Home Hardware. Rubber Renew is found at electronics stores, but lacquer thinner - also at Home Hardware :-) - is just as good.
The Lenco/RS-A1/Denon DL-103 combo is one of the most ELECTRIFYING and exciting/musical combos I have ever heard, and the RS tonearm SO good that the Denon on it matches a state-of-the-art cartridge on almost any other tonearm in terms of detail! Given their respective prices, a helluva bargain, especially when you throw in the Mighty Lenco :-)!! If a thief were to break into my home and steal every tonearm and cartridge I had, but left the RS/Denon behind, I could easily live with it as my sole combo for the rest of my life, it does NOTHING wrong, musically-speaking. The JMW with a good MC, however, is more perfectly balanced and neutral (The RS is not strictly neutral), so it's sophistication vs DRAMA and fire (not that the JMW/MC -- and various MMs - is lacking in excitement). Another great combo is the MG-1/Dyna 17D MKIII, which together on the Lenco is FIRE AND balance!! Likely other great combos out there too (low-mass/Grado, RS/MM, etc.)!
Enjoy your idlers all!!
