Profile I Tonearm branded SYSTEMDEK - no known specification

[datawireless]

Good spotting Mr Wazoo!
I found some threads on V/engine in the Systemdek pages. A couple of fellas there seemed to spend some time comparing the Profile with the AR and Rotel arms that were the same and they came up with...
Length 229mm
O/Hang 16mm
Eff Mass 12g
Pivot-Spindle 211mm
Seems very Linn ish to one of the guys.
It'll be interesting to hear if any of this gel's

Yes, thank you Chris.

The head-shell on the AR arm looks identical to the one on my Systemdek arm which, taken together with Mr. Uchida's statement that the head-shell is not Jelco design, implies that AR tonearm is not the variant of an SA250-ST as was previously thought by some. Of course, the differences remains in the center bearing design, the yokes on the AR arm being practically identical to the SA250-ST and the Systemdek ones looking very Linn-like but without the 'top housing' as it were. The antiscate bias housing remains non-Linn.

Who makes the LVX arms for Linn?

Mike

All,

This is what I was sent by a colleague the other day. Doesn't sound right and there is a lot of wrong info in that eBay listing.

Might be worth an email to ART loudspeakers to clear this mystery up. After all, the owners are the sons of the original Mr. Dunlop!
