Sumiko FT3 at a guess, although the anti skating looks a little odd for a sumiko ? Another one of katieharry's..... Notice how he always uses a coloured LP in his listings ?

He lists a lot of turntables. Must have a large stash or a good supply chain.

It looks a bit too plasticky from here, to be a Jelco/Sumiko, do you think?.

Possibly right Owen, I havent seen an FT3 in the flesh for a few years, and the anti skating doesnt look right for a Sumiko, though the arm lift does. Any other guesses ?

I'm sure if it was a common known arm then katieharry would be able to/want to advertise it.
So its probably from a cheap donor turntable of plastik origin...

Finally twigged as to why the anti skating mech doesnt look right: Have recentlyish have had a thorens or a dual with a similar looking mech.

Yes the side-protruding A-Skating looks a bit Thorens-ish.

I have no intention of buying (have enough tts already!) but my interest was piqued. So asked a question yesterday, and still not answered. Asked for photo of mat and close up photos of tone arm.
