Arm Upgrade Suggestion?

Dear Lew,
The TD124 has a vicious taste !
Fitting to it’s armboard, does not predict compatibility soundwise.

Without budget, hard to tell. The Jelco is inexpensive due to mass production but rest assurred, it will see off your old SME. I prefer it over the SME IV. There are some third party mods available too.  Not sure how a 12" will fit a standard 124 armboard so check that first.

Sorry about the lack of a budget in the post. I think I can stretch to $2500.

I appreciate all the great suggestions!
