I don't mean to start a good, better, best, 'here we go again' tech talk about 9/12, that has been covered, and I have been researching.

As far as I could find, there are only two available in the world, the one I bought and luckily got out of in Japan, and this one. Whew! |
Elliott When I was looking I was lucky and stumbled across mine right here on Audiogon, it was the only complete all Victor dual arm plinth version I had seen at that time. We struck what I thought was a fair deal but then like yourself I was shocked at just how large and massive the plinth was when I unboxed it and saw it in person! Setup was a breeze and I already had a stepdown from my Victor TT-71 so was ready to play music right away. I am sure you will be very happy with it indeed. Merry Christmas and enjoy your present to yourself, the best kind! |
For options, I found and bought the optional extra counterweight, fits either 7082 or 7045 https://www.ebay.com/itm/193237660632 |
OK, now I’m looking for a UA-7045 arm to use with a Mono Cartridge. found these pics of it https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649253288-vintage-victor-jvc-ua-7045-tonearm/images/1151919/ only found two in Japan with Sagging counterweights, $350. - $400. https://www.hifishark.com/search?q=ua+7045 |
here's a 9" arm option, maybe $500. usd delivered. https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649548072-victor-tt-61-quality-direct-drive-turntable/?utm_campaign=response-received&utm_source=notification&utm_medium=email complete dual arm deck, (looks cleaner than the one I just bought), with a tt61, and a Pioneer Tonearm ....... anyone know anything about it? |
