I saw one of those before on an oracle table if that helps.
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

Yamaha made a couple direct drives with arms like that in the 80s, but I have no idea on that specific one.

You guys don't know what that arm is ?
Thats the Vestigal Arm from the Transcriptors Skeleton turntable.
Opus One sold it years ago.
I have one.
This turntable was in the movie Clockwork Orange.

That's what I meant... not Oracle, Transcriptor.
