[eksiil]

it's an itch I'd like to scratch. seen the ones on Ebay, otherwise grateful for any pointers.

still looking. would consider a 242.

[Made in 1968]

If you like vintage Unipivots the Mayware is good

I eventually scratched that itch myself a few years back and I have to be honest, the GH228 Super I managed to get totally lived up to the expectations. It's not in use right now but I won't be selling it on any time soon. Good luck in the search, I believe you'll find that it was worth the perseverance.

thank you. there are a couple of expensive ones on Ebay, but I'm not that rushed.

I bought a 242SE last year and I'm very impressed with it. Wanted a 10" to fit the Sony TTS8000 and mount a Decca SC4e.

I can't remember how much I paid. (EDIT £495)

thank you, that's a very useful indication.

I had a look at that, but the drooping counterweight stub did not inspire confidence. it also came with a cart, which (presumably) skewed the final price.
