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

Totem
i just examined my tt-71 and there is no voltage block for changing voltage input.
i would be very sure there is not on the tt-81 either but as I am playing albums on it right now not going to get checked for a while.

If you do open it up pls post your findings.

Sounds like a job for Christmas Day after all presents opened and everyone is now bored.

Stay tuned,it’s a heavy beast to move in that plinth.
The 71 was out of the playing arena which is why I could check it easily 

Free shipping, it won't be here until 1st or 2nd week of Jan.

I'll take photos of the mice within, how do I post them here?

I've been reading about using faucet washers or O rings to repair the counterweight sagging rubber. I'll figure something out.

What do you think of $350. for an UA-7045 arm (probably also sagging rubber).

That's a fair price for a UA-7045 arm and yes likely to show some sag on the rubber.
From my experience unless the arm has never been used then they are ALL going to have some small degree of sag in that area.
The 7045 on my 71 has slightly more sag than the 7082 on the 81 but I have not worried about it one single jot.
And unless you are an absolute perfectionist for every detail I would just dial it in when you get it and see what you think rather than worry about a slight amount of sag.

I was also considering setting up a second arm for mono but not sure yet if I want to or need to start off down that rabbit hole!

Good luck and again congratulations on your purchase of what I am sure you will come to agree is a fabulous vintage DD table!
