Yep - 370's - from the info I've just been reading - looks like Adam has been through this loop before! - hope you don't mind me linking to a thread of yours on Audiokarma, Adam?

Does seem like a good deal as there is a chap selling the arm on its own for £200.

Yup, dude, but Orsonic still make those headshells now.
Genuine vintage is when products are discontinued and no longer available new... It's the slightly obscure 1970s headshells I tend to like best

I've got original Orsonic but never rated it much. I also have Koetsu, Stax, Stax with damper and various Fidelity Research shells which I do like.
If only DSJR would come on over and show me how to post pics, you could enjoy a lot of vintage porn.
