Hi Barry,

Worth checking with peeps who have some experience.....But a fair chance I'd have thought as the difference in effective length over the 9" variant which I have on my Gyro isn't so much really. It's a question of the arm not fouling the lid & there being enough space on the new arm blank to accommodate the revised mounting geometry needed for this arm. I'd have thought many of the specialist firms offering aftermarket Technics/Jelco armboards should be able to advise too.

There's one just posted up fer sale over on t' Wigwam for £295 which looks to be fair value to me. It looks in nice nick & comes boxed with all accessories & he's also offering the better Jelco cable for a little extra. http://www.hifiwigwam.com/showthread.php?91913-FS-Jelco-750E-10-quot-tonearm.

Cheers Bud.........as you sell Jelco arms & Techie mounting boards too IIRC, that would seem to be on t' money.:cheers:

Lol have you added any more Techies to your recent haul??

The 9" Jelco is so good no need to fit anything else really IMO as there are plenty of other tweaks to do instead. I have 5 techies here at the moment!

I'm totally with you on that!! Mine took my previous Technoarm t' the cleaners in terms of all round SQ improvement.:spank: That's with all the LOMC carts I'm using too....in the case of the Rondo Red even, can't say I actually ever loved it on the Michell arm....actually preferring my lowliest AT F3iii by some margin. I'd kinda written off the Rondo....despite it undoubtedly sounding neutral/reasonably accurate it wuz just too safe for my vinyl replay preferrences, although undoubtedly blameless. On t' Jelly SA750D however it's really surprised me & runs my AT33EV closer than I'd ever have expected.
