Cleaning out the closet at the moment.

Iīll surely regret this one, but here goes.

Johnnie7 of Audio Origami fame, made this one for me a couple of years ago.

Itīs based on the Audio Note "Arm One" variant of the Rega RB250, this means that certain parts of the bearings and bearing pins are different and according to Johnnie with better tolerance and overall strength. Besides being fully serviced while in Glasgow, the following changes were performed:

- The arm has been stripped of itīs coating + foam filled for dampening
- Re-wired with Cardas 33ga and new Van den Hul tags
- A brass earth pin has been fitted inside the arm tube with seperate earthing as opposed to the normal Rega way
- A new custom made Brass end stub and low slung counter weight is fitted
- External cable fitted is a vintage Audio Note Japan with Eichmann silver bullet plugs
- Arm comes with VTA adjustable collar

So all in all the arm is sorted, and has got the full list of AO mods and changes.

It works flawlessly and looks great. All it need is a new deck :eyebrows:

Iīm hoping to get around 350 Ģ - any fair offer will be considered as well.

Sorry for the picture quality, looks much sweeter in real life.
