Who Has Technics Headshell with Azimuth Adjustment?

Something on my wish list is Technics head shell with an azimuth adjustment. I’ve seen some on eBay that claim to be the genuine Technics part:
  “ORGINAL TECHNICS/PANASONIC PART # TPBGA003 ~ ADJUSTABLE AZIMUTH FITS 1200 SERIES” 
So I’m compelled to ask: is it genuine or not?

Perhaps these might be the head shell that comes with the current SL-1200 range. Does anyone know for certain?

All my headshells have ''azimuth'' + effective length correction.
The 4 pin connector in the headshall can not only be rotated in
order to get the stylus straight but also to get the stylus eff.
length correct by moving the connector back and fort.
By Technics are fastening threads , alas, at the under site so the
only way to adjust the eff. lenght is to move the connector back
and fort.

Nandric, did the headshell come with your turntable? If so what is the model number of your turntable?

I own SP-10,mk2 but use FR-64 S with this TT. I bought many
headshells all with ''azimuth'' adjustment . The Technics headshells
are suitable for (MM) carts which don't have screw threads. Those
can be fastened from underside so much more easy then with
nuts and screws.
