Jelco Tone Arms

Hello all, I am looking to communicate with anyone who has purchased and is using a Jelco Tone Arm. I would also love to know which cartridges you are using and what your experience has been. I have been taking a look at the Jelco SA-370H arm. I understand that some of these tone arms are hard wired so that a standard plug in cable can't be used unless the arm is modified. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Hello sir,

I am building a new plinth using birch plywood primarily. The plinth will be 5 by 15 by 22 inches. It will weigh in at about 65 pounds. I have dismantled my 1983 version of the Cranfield Elite Rock Turntable with Excalibur Tonearm. I am using the massive bearing and platter from this turntable.

I will be installing a Jelco SA-750D tonearm with a Pete Riggles VTAF "on-the-fly" Adjuster. By the way, Mr. Riggles is a first rate gentlemen and business person. I will be using a "stand-a-lone" motor to drive the 17 pound platter via a round belt. I am looking foward to getting my new plinth back this weekend and can hardly wait.
