MG1 air- bearing tone-arm


I don't see any feedback on this arm. Has anybody here tried it? I want to set up my old Oracle and give it a spin. You can't beat the price. I also need help finding a belt?

Suggest you read Arthur Salvatore's text-- particularly regarding MG-1 bearing noise-- at

Any air pulsing will adversely affect stylus. While this arm is cheap, the recommended pump is not. Then check out Trans-Fi Terminator-- more expensive but works fine with a $75 aquarium pump and DIY flow tank. Finally, on a lightly sprung table like Oracle the leveling may change as the arm travels down the manifold.
