Victor tonearms and cartridges are superb. And if the budget for Technics SP-10mk2 is limited then Technics SP-20 is the way to go (same size, same shape, made in 1976, but for half price). Picture of the SP-20: https://scontent-ams3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18814056_1728811897136970_391640553581477427_n.jpg?oh=... Custom made plinth for SP-20 (or tonearm pod) required.
