Tonearm ...... Acos Lustre GST-801 ..... Yea/Nay

Acos Lustre GST-801, claim to fame is magnetic stylus force and magnetic anti-skate.

Hopping about, getting ready to pick the rear arm of 2 arm deck. Use for existing Shure 97xe and V15VxMR, both with their dynamic stabilizer brush, and AT440ml (no brush), and NEW Mono Cartridge.

I cannot make an account there since they're not accepting new ones. Also - what is the mounting hole size and bolt pattern for the tone-arm? I'm trying to figure out which armboard to get for a Thorens TD-16X. Thank you for any help!
