Anyone try the replica B-60 Fidelity Research VTA?

My sammle moved not only up an down but also sidewards.
The reason as far as I can judge is the pin on the screw
which connect the inner and the outer collar. The inner collar
slides along this pin up and down but if there is
any play between this pin and the notch of the inner collar
the tonearm will move also sidewards. This means that the
'replica' is not as 'exact' as claimed by the producer.
I assume that this screw is better made by the orginal B-60 .

Well, you're not actually! I'm also looking for the B-60, but since I'm not prepared to pay the going price for an original, let alone the new price for the (identical) Ikeda version, this will probably remain so.

I even have a Micro AX-8G armbase specifically made for the B-60 just waiting to be put to work. So if you ever have another lead on one of those replica's, please drop me a line......
