There's some clever engineering going on there... Love the bubble level, for ascertaining correct VTA! Why has no-one else thought of that?

I had one on different decks; my bro.-in-law still has it. Surprised at the misspelling of 'jewelled', though, and there's that tracing error mentioned again !!!!! My arm had its bias defined by cutting off a specific length of specific thickness solder and the usual string/twisted wire carrier. Maybe that was the original FFS arm; can't remember back to '65/6. Mounted on my TD150, it made jelly seem more secure; 'Twas better on my TD125 though, and that WAS the International armDecca built them into their International Arm headshells donkeys years ago.
