Just in case anyone is bidding on this arm, it was being auctioned previously. A friend of mine won it. He received it in the mail and showed it to me. Because of the fact that A) it has a very noticeable split/crack in the arm tube near the counterweight aka it is broken and B) there is so much play in the headshell that it's similar to a pasta noodle that's had it's tip submerged in boiling water for 45 seconds, I advised him to send it back. Clearly it wasn't in "excellent" plug and play condition as previously advertised. Now the seller, having received the return, has slightly downgraded the text of his listing and has gone out of his way to make it clear that he's selling the item AS-IS. However, he's still unwilling, apparently, to disclose the truth about this arm, which is that it's a piece of crap. My friend contacted him and suggested he do so, but his message and the suggestion were ignored. I feel sorry for anyone who wins this broken arm. Therefore, I'm posting this just in case I can save anyone from the nightmare:
