One of those Keith Monks mercury-dampened arms came with a vintage Thorens TD124 I bought. Scared the heck out of me, though I appreciated the inventiveness of the design. I called the city and a guy came out in a hazmat suit with a specialized vacuum and sucked up all that Hg. They treated it as a spill, which, thank heavens, didn’t happen. Needless to say, I rebuilt the Thorens and added an Ortofon (Jelco) arm and a Cadenza mono cart. To play all those used mono’s I keep buying 🙄. Happy listening!
