Breuer Type 8 Tone Arm

Hi, I've owned both the normal 6(?)and 12inch versions. Absolute works of art Swiss precision but extremely delicate and must be handled with care. They have(had) fixed cart headshell holes-made alignment adjust a tad tricky but a truly heavenly sound.
Mine were from the 70's the old boy must be kicking on if he is still producing them.

The head-shell has 'side-skirts' where it connects to the arm tube (for reinforment), which can cause mounting issues with quite a few cart bodies.
Sound is said to be about as 'delicate' as the arm mechanically is (more light mass than medium), also a bit ~ light in the bass, favouring a delicate, refined treble.

Brinkmann (tt's and amps) makes a more current version after the old man (Breuer) had decided to call it a day with his one man show manufacturing.
(Be rather surprising if he is still with us, so I guess -forget about spares...).

Sorry, one more item to note.
The arm came with a bag full of nuts and bolts, and from there on you're on your own to figure what to do with all :-)
So you better be somewhat mechanically minded also...

PS: sorry for the earlier post's typo reinforment = reinforcement
