SL1200GAE New Tonearm

@johnnyb53

When Technics introduced the SL1200, they also introduced the SL120, which--instead of including a Technics tonearm--included a SME-compatible armboard.

It was in 1975-1977, but good idea.
New SL-1200GAE, G, RG series without technics tonearm would be great today.
Anyway we will see NEW Technics tonearms for sale from those people who will replace them with something else. I think the owners of old Sl1200mkII could replace their stock old tonearm with this new arm from GAE series. I wonder how much

Never tried the ART-9, but this is my old ART-2000 on Reed 3P "12 
"9.5 Reed is much cheaper than "12 inch, i hope you can get one in your price range. 

Here is a picture of short Reed arms from ArtisanFidelity 

You might ask Ralph Karsten (Atma-sphere) whether the standard 9-inch Triplanar will mount on the new SL1200GAE.  If it does, very good choice.  A 12-inch version of the TP is now available, as well.  I own both a 10.5-inch Reed 2A and a 9-inch TP.  Both are excellent, but I know for sure that the 9-inch TP will not mount on an SP10 Mk2 or Mk3, which is why I bought the 10.5-inch Reed.  However, this was before the 12-inch TP came into existence.

Yes I was hoping @atmosphere would chime in. I couldn't wait and just bought the 9" off of us audiomart just to good of a deal and from a well respected guy. Anyone know the cost to go to the SE version which I hope is possible. 

For what it's worth, you can call Ralph at Atma-sphere in Minnesota, any time.  If he's available, he probably would be glad to discuss the TP variants. Ralph is "good people".
