TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm?

this cheapo 100watt 100 v converter appeals to me as it adds no box or cords anywhere, just plug in.

I suppose I could use a cord to locate the little 100 watt transformer away from other stuff, which would be similar to using one of these, 200watt version

Any hum issues?

Any issue having the little transformer directly into a duplex wall outlet (that also powers 120v stuff via extension cord from the 2nd outlet)?

@totem395  So you think it's better not to tell him anything about the obvious problem with the arm counterweight when i see it ?
I'm just trying to help! 

We do not celebrate Christmas at all, sorry 
But i hope you're well and Mary Christmas 

He did not even get the package yet. 

Anything purchased on ebay can be returned with shipping compensation from paypal, every buyer on ebay is protected 100%. This tonearm is in junk condition, they are $150 in japan in this condition with broken counterweight. The seller can compensate or accept return or offer partial refund. My advice, actually.  

Or it must be fixed by OP, the rubber part must be replaced.  

P.S. Finding a perfect sample of UA-7045 is not easy and they're cost much more than the whole turntable he has bought (if the arm is NOS). A perfect used sample of this arm normally goes for $700+ on ebay.  
 

Mine was a dual outlet model so I could power both my tt-81 and tt71 from it.
it came with a built in cable of about five feet so cannot comment on the almost wallwart style of your first link.

I have mine removed in distance from both the TT and power strip and I hear no hum whatsoever.

lewm,

wrong link, this page for 101/81/71
