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?

In my experience azimuth is a very important adjustment for great sound....however.....solidity in the arm is probably as important.  When I put the 2nd pivot on my VPI arm and used it for azimuth correction and solidifying the wobbly unipivot, it made a huge difference for the better.
