Bought this 1980s vintage arm new-in-box 6 years ago. The balance weight on the arm looks like an audiophile nightmare but it must provide damping or just doesn't matter as this arm just killed the SME III it replaced in tone, texture and soundstage. I'm upgrading (I hope!) once again so it gets passed on. Everything is included and in original packing. There's a Q-Up in the photo which is not included but you may want one as this arm has no cueing arm lift. According to Vinyl Engine the Effective Mass is 17 grams. I used it with both a medium compliance Aurum Beta "S" and a low compliance DL-103R, no problem. The Bias or Anti-skate weight is included but it's not threaded for use. The knot in the thread (fishing line) came undone and I'm too thumble-fingered and blind to get it done! I'll provide some lightweight mono-filament for the buyer to have at it ;-) Or go with the Harry Weisfeld School of no anti-skate. Turntable, posters and anything else in the Pix but the arm, not included. Paypal with 3% or USPS Money Order
