If you can be lucky enough to find a Jelco TK-850L, jump on it. It was the last generation Jelco and is quite good. Earlier Jelcos are lesser performers, but the better ones are OK.
Tonearms - SME 3012, Jelco, or Schick?
I am looking at buying a long, 12" or so, tonearm. The the SME 3012, Jelco 750L, and Thomas Schick tonearms has caught my eye. Any thoughts or experiences anyone would like to share on these units? They are all in the 1000 to 2000 $ price range and I will be mounting a modern mc cartridge on it.
