    Default FS: BBC MP1-18 arm for Technics SP-10 MKII and others

    My SP10 is long gone so time to part with this. Purpose designed for the Technics but works brilliantly with other turntables too. In excellent working order, no issues. Comes with a Ortofon cartridge but you'll need a new stylus. The nut/washer for one of the mounting bolts is awol, will include if I can find but easy enough to source. £150 plus post or collect from Bedford...

    It is indeed. Should say, for the avoidance of doubt, the documentation is electronic, not paper...

    Nice. Just the kind of thing a DL-103 would sound great with! Someone should snap this up, ASAP, as it's a bargain, and better sounding than most currently available, sub-£800 tonearms, especially with something such as a DL-103.

    Good luck with the sale

    Very tempted by this - could be fun to have a play with on the Garrard, though actually at 232.6 mm spindle to pivot it's only a shade more than FR64 same also as the Ikeda arm I'm using on the TD124 (extra couple of mm, easily handled). That's quite a way further out though than your standard Rega or Linn/Jelco distances.

    Seems to be originally intended for use with an SC36C which I'm quite a fan of, like the 103 it needs a heavy arm which of course this is.
