Ortofon SPU dealers in the US?

In the past, I ordered two SPU’s from Jim Pendleton @ Osage Audio.  Great person to deal with.  

I have two new SPUs (90th and 95th Anniversary models) which I am not using since i’ve changed to a different tonearm/turntable.  I’ll be selling them one day.

Thanks I will look him up

Check out Deja Vu Audio in VA they are an Ortofon cartridge dealer not 100% sure they carry the SPU’s but knowing Vu I suspect they do. www.dejavudaudio.com

Highwater Sound in NYC. 

Not in the US, I was in England and now France. When I ordered an SPU Royal N originally I was told a three month wait. I think this was a guess on the dealer’s part as it arrived in two. I think they’re made in batches and are quite slow sellers so the batches aren’t made that frequently. (This is a guess on my part.)

When I sent it off to Denmark last spring from France with a misaligned cantilever (from under biasing) it took around three months to come back. The more popular SPUs might be in stock somewhere at dealerships but it’s partially a matter of luck.

I am in the same league. I contacted The Cable Company and was surprised that the salesman did not know what the Ortofon RMG-212i tonearm is. I am very frustrated.

Cheers,

The tonearms were made by Jelco which is no longer in business.  Perhaps there is a new in box RMG-212i out there.  Check with Deja Vu.  He still shows the tonearms on the website.
