Identify this tonearm??? Anti-Skate???


https://www.ebay.com/itm/Victor-JVC-TT-71-Direct-Drive-Rare-Turntable/153919804166?hash=item23d655d306:g:75UAAOSwhe1eukWc

Anyone know what arm that is?

Seems similar to SME setup, but I don't see any anti-skate.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks, Elliott

btw, TT71. Any real reason to avoid TT71 or avoid TT61? I have TT81 downstairs. Are they all the same cutout, IOW, any plinth with cutout for any of them will fit any other?

did you know JVC Victor made a 3 arm plinth?

CL-P3, same as, but a bit wider than the CL-P2, 3rd removable arm-board

billwojo,

Your project sounds exciting, I just finished my main system TT upgrade, big JVC Plinth CL-P2, two removable arm boards, 1 mono arm, 1 stereo arm, TT81 spinner. Absolutely love it.

chackster, thanks

thanks also,

the side sliding weight is the tracking force, similar to the SME 3009/3012. this grace 545 arm does not appear to have anti-skate.

I have a QL-A7 with the TT71 motor in it. One of the best tables I ever heard. The stock tonearm is no slouch either. Now I'm looking for another to build a custom plinth with a removable tonearm board. I have several arms to try.

Hi,
looks similar to a Grace G-545, anti skate is the sliding weight on the arms left side.
