    Default 2 tonearms on a 1200?

    Has anyone successfully mounted a second tonearm on a 1200? I did a quick search and didn't find anything.

    Not saying in the whole wide world it doesn't exist. However, I've never ever seen it or heard of it and doubt it very much.

    A big maybe if someone has somehow replinthed an SL12XX and then mounted two arms that way, again I doubt it very much simply because re-plinthing an SL12XX is a major undertaking that no one I know of has taken on.

    You'd probably get a 12" arm in an off board pod, maybe even a 9" at the back if you forfeit the lid.

    I stumbled upon a Japanese site/blog 10+ years ago, where a modder had mounted a ~12" additional DIY tonearm on a bracket where the hinges are usually mounted.
