Pioneer tonearm on a Technics SL-1210
I had a request to fit a Pioneer PL-71 tonearm to a Technics SK-1210 mk2.
This is something I had done myself many, many moons ago.
The customer read about it.
The arm was good fathers. The Pioneer deck sadly no longer around.
The Acos made PL-71 tonearm Requires a very low mounting point.
Twice as low as a standard Jelco!
No problem, I have very thick solid Ebony blocks.
Lots of dishing required.
Here is my PL-71 arm fitted to my test mule deck.
Off to Norway.
