Who Has Technics Headshell with Azimuth Adjustment?


Something on my wish list is Technics head shell with an azimuth adjustment. I’ve seen some on eBay that claim to be the genuine Technics part:
  “ORGINAL TECHNICS/PANASONIC PART # TPBGA003 ~ ADJUSTABLE AZIMUTH FITS 1200 SERIES” 
So I’m compelled to ask: is it genuine or not?

Perhaps these might be the head shell that comes with the current SL-1200 range. Does anyone know for certain?

Headshell azimuth adjustments are worthless IMO.

Azimuth adjustments need to be very fine (in a small window angle) to be of any practical value just as SRA.

You need index marks to know where you are, and then listen for optimal results, and move in steps back and forth to zero in for best sound quality.
