not bad... you could always strip it for parts if it doesnt work. headshell hs to get you your money back... nice knobs etc too

Some may be unhappy to see a vintage bit of gear cannibalised. Not me though :). The arm is probably quite decent and could be useful used with a separate armlift.

Isn't that the same arm someone was trying to identify on here last week ?

Edit: it isn't it's one I saw elsewhere so ignore me lol.

Looks a bit like it, but the other one had a height adjustment collar I think. Not that it's a problem here, just employ a spacer! :) (as in thick stuff, not weird person :D)

My uncle had the full music centre from the same era - pretty much the same but with tape deck as well. It was actually very good (and very expensive when new) and came with some large 3 way speakers that were a lot like the JBL L100 Century. Hi-Fi World featured one in their Olde Worlde section 5 or 6 years ago, albeit without the speakers. Asked my uncle about it last time I saw him but turned out he had skipped it all some years previously.

Hi Karma

Massive long shot as this is a v. old post. But do you still have this Sony HP-115a system kicking around or or pull spares from it? I'm after a selector knob (missing) and facia panel (worn) as I've just picked one up and using it as my main system.

Or if there are any reccomendations for getting vintage Sony spares, happy to hear them


Many thanks
