No, I got a very nice reply explaining how the seller had recently bought it from an elderly gent who'd had it from new and had been in touch with Heybrook in the early days. Why he'd made a specific note of my name is anyone's guess though. He also said that the old boy had recently had the new arm fitted by AO, and that he assumed the new switch was fitted at the same time.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

A heads-up to Denon DL-103 users ...
I recently picked up (for a very modest sum) a re-cantilevered DL-103 from a chap in Japan who seems to specialist in re-tipping/re-cantilevering them.
I'm on record as very much NOT being a fan of re-tipped 103s after several bad experiences here in the UK.. but I must say, for the money, I'm well impressed with the Shibata-tipped standard 103 I bought from him (nice match on the Hashimoto HM7s as well). He has been selling assorted others with different tips and cantilever materials (I assume from his own experitmentations).
I'm using this one as a 103 just begs to be used ... in a heavy shell with an additional 8g stabiliser weight bonded to it .. headshell and cartridge weight is an SPU-ish 31g, add the 30g effective mass of the FR64 arm and you have a low compliance dream ticket. (In my experience most people who diss these cartridges are attempting to use them in a too-lightweight arm, and often at the wrong impedance setting as well.)
Ok it doesn't quite knock spots off £2000-worth of Miyajima Shilabe, but at this sort of price it's a handy thing to have around (tracks rather well too). Chap is very accommodating on shipping options etc and speaks better English than your average Japan-based seller.
Anyway, fill yur boots ...

Those look rather interesting. The prices, even including carriage & duty are good.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

The re-foam doesn't look quite right on these Snell J's..
