New Technics SL 1200 GAE

Anyone acquired a new Technics DD 1200 GAE? Has anyone not been happy with the stock arm and changed it?

One hole is drilled into the original plinth. The other two are on the armboard we fabricated.

In both cases the concept and cliche that form follows function is total.
