They must've raided the local Rebel Sports store for parts, what with golfball, fishing line like tonearm suspension and belt, plus early models with squashball suspension! 😁

(If a tad unsightly and low-tech) In all seriousness, the peculiarities of the Reference deck--asymmetrical spindle bearing to eliminate chatter, fishing line bearing with silicone damping trough, etc.--delivered pretty amazing performance for amazingly little money.

Main arm base Damping pot Arm rest All independently adjusted more complicated than the original arm.
Latest arm has everything on a single base but hides the golf ball

Arm rest doesn't count as has no bearing on sound or even functionality!

Aesthetics ! Wonky arm at rest is hard on the eyes.

The fishing line like belt is what got me! I now use one on my Aura.
