    Default FS: Decca London International tonearm and London Grey cartridge

    Lovely above tone arm for sale. The cartridge still has 80% life. I know this because i took my turntable to John Wright last year who checked the tonearm and cartridge for me. Please see the pictures for more detail. Please note that the turntable is not for sale. The tonearm is still on the turntable if anyone wants to test the sound out, you can bring your own records. I would like to get £750 for both.

    If you split the arm and cartridge I think you will find both easier to sell - and probably make more money.

    Thanks Mark for the suggestion. I would like to sell both together, but i can split them if i get a good offer.

    I'm curious, have you put the dampening fluid in the trough at the top and if so can you describe how it changed the sound?
    I love the arm but have never used the fluid since, if I didn't like the change it would have been hell to get out again. It's a fantastic arm, utterly charismatic and I'm surprised it hasn't been snapped up.
    Without music, powerboat racing, photography and a whole stack of other stuff that floats my boat, life is just a non stop procession of deadlines and bills.

    Hi Hal, John Wright have checked the fluid last and he said there is enough fluid. I have not heard it without the fluid, so i cant answer that question. Hopefuly someone else can answer it.
