Well Tempered Signature turntable and arm

Hello,
since yesterday i have a Well Tempered Signature turntable with matching tonearm.
Unfortunatelly there are so little informations about this product.
The only source for me is on vinylengine.com, from the seller and from an ad reputedly of 1989, but i am not shure if some of these informations are correct:

- prduction date: at the latest from 1989 till at least 1995
- 50 pieces made
- more expensive than WT Reference
- it should be exposed in the Museum of Modern Arts in NY (but i have just found the Well Tempered chair by Ron Arad, sic!)

Have you any correct informations about this nice turntable?

Maybe any cartridge recommendations? I will try my Decca / London Reference Cartridge and DV XV-1s, i think both of them match it quite good.

Julian!!!

I found you again. This is Mohan Shivdasani. Sorry for the less than spectacular lunch in a town, on the Alababe border, that I cannot remember. How are you?

I still have the table and the Benz, and it has given me many hours of beautiful sound. Unfortunately I have forgotten your knowledge on fine tuning the arm.

I hope your well. I will try and reach out to you through Audiogon to catch-up.

Mohan

David on the West Coast and others interested in the WT Signature limited Edition,

Mine is not for sale. i am the humble person that bought it from Julian Price.

However there are two new distributors, one in Canada (charisma) and one in the US (the Dynavector Distributor) that have taken over from the useless Stanalog. They are far more responsive. Charisma will send you a manual for the Signature LTD EDITION, in a heart beat. Toffco-usa will help all WT owners, and even help you find reputable repair shop in your area.

There is hope again!

Oh, these are very good news. Now we (and i) just need someone in Europe!

Any other cheaper cartridge recommendation for about 1000 USD (new or even used)?
My WTS is now not playing, i have sold my DV and London cartridges and would like to reactivate the nice Well.
