No idea, but looks posh, not silly money either currently and apparently there's a version that drops right into a Lenco GL75 tonearm mount without wholesale butchering - uses the original cueing device too by the look of it -

My mate is friends with Gordon from Stamford Audio (LP12 Hercules seller). He really rates them. |

Just heard back from Mark. The drop-in Lenco versions are £165 for the Saturn arm and £210 to £260 for the 512 L and S. No doubt a version with mounting collar would cost more, but surely not a lot and a wonderful alternative to an RB330 surely and for this old idiot, FAR better than carving up GL75's and so on to fit a inferior Basik or similar arm on.

I don’t know I’m afraid. I know he dabbles with other decks too. He just told my mate they are great arms.

This chap does arms that can be adapted to all sorts of mountings I gather, but my main initial interest was for a Lenco drop in type, using the original mount and cueing device and to save the terrible butchering that's done to unlucky examples, including removing the device that retracts the idler on switch off, which imo trusting that the idler tyre material is hard enough for it not to make a 'flat' long term, is mad to me having experienced the consequences...
Bearing in mind Linn want £600 for their new Jelco Basik Plus (sorry, Majik by Jelco), a Linn compatible arm for half that price or less must be a good idea if it works alright and we all know how Rega RB type arms are regarded by many, especially Linn people.
