Offered for buy it now is the original Tonearm from a light use late 1960's AR Xa. The arm has it's original wiring. Included are the tomearm and assembly, the original rca cable, the arm support, the ball bearing, the brass counter weight, and the headshell. I oiled the pivot mechanism. The spindle has minimal wear. It moved nice and free when it was mounted. One of the screw sleeves has pulled out of the headshell as can be seen in the pic below. A nut could be glued in place or as I have read on the forums drill holes in the headshell and mount the cartridge in place. This is a weak point of the plastic headshell and over time they will pull out from over tightening of the cartridge screws.
