Tonearm for Technics SP-15

This afternoon my dear friend Elliott helped me set up the base and tonearm along with my Grace F9e cartridge.  We got a little frustrated when some of the adjustments to the arm lift and anti-skate seemed  frozen. Some drops of sewing machine oil and working the mechanisms loosed up and the issues went away..  For a while we were considering sending the package back as faulty.  A little patients payed off and the resulting sounds were fabulous.  Thanks again fellow audiophiles for all your help and recommendations.

I want to thank all audiogon members who posted advice and recommendations.  I learned a lot and finally placed an order on a technics a fully loaded lightly EPA-a250 on a B500 base kit.  Separately, I found a base panel for the B500 that was made for my technics SH-15b3 base cabinet/plinth.  All should arrive in the next week or two and once I set up I will report again.  Thanks again!!
