Oh yeah, I am damn glad I persevered, love this vintage dual arm turntable,
JVC TT81 Spinner in 70mm thick 7 layer plinth, two removable armboards, also special layering
1 vintage 9" arm, Acos Lustre GST 801 for mono
unique magnetism system, easiest VTA on the Fly I can imagine.

1 new 12.5" arm for stereo (from Russia, took another chance)

Play Oscar Peterson Stereo, phono 1; Play Oscar Peterson Mono, phono 2, switch at will during listening session, fantastic.

thanks again, Elliott
