Whilst in the process of cleaning up & installing a FR-64 tonearm on a Technics SP-10 TT, I was reminded how pretty this classic stainless steel tonearm is.

So I thought I'd post some pics of this tonearm from the 70s-early 80s, before I bolt it onto the TT:

Thanks to the ever-vigilant sub & to Mr g.bastard on TrMe, I am now owner of a Fidelity Research FR-S/4 headshell from the late 70s to mid-80s.

This headshell was "precision machined from a solid aluminium block" & was a headshell option for the FR-60 series of tonearms.

The stock FR-64 headshell (above) is a "heavy pressed aluminium" item (1/3 heavier.)

Beautiful! Classic heavy tonearm to be combined with a low compliance cartridge like the DL103, what Cartridge are you going to be using Owen?
