Guest CCallil Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) SOLD Item: Mayware Formula IV Tonearm Location: Brunswick East, Melbourne 3057 Price: 300 or nearest offer Item Condition: 8/10 really nice condition; cosmetic scratches near the base of tonearm. Reason for selling: Upgraded Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Feel free to make an offer, the price is an estimate. Tonearm was mounted on a Thorens TD-160S I purchased (includes a Thorens Mount). Original seller noted it has been in storage for awhile. Which means it's in fantastic original condition,. Any questions feel free to PM me. Specifications: Effective length: 224mm Mounting distance: 209 to 215mm Mounting hole: 25mm Pivot friction: less than 5mg in any plane Effective mass: low and variable Pivot: inverted hardened steel pin pivoting on a jewelled bearing damped by viscous silicone fluid Tracking force: 0 to 3g is achieved with a small cursor which slides along the calibrated aluminium tube. As stylus compliance increases less effective mass is required; less compliant stylus assemblies require more effective mass than highly compliant assemblies do. Generally, low compliance cartridges require more tracking force than high compliance cartridges. Thus, the cursor of the arm increases slightly effective mass of the arm and stylus at the same time. Bias compensation: Adjustable to correspond with tracking force, provided by variable weights applying torque around the alloy and perspex hub in the correct horizontal plane in relation to the pivot point, ensuring complete stability. Hydraulic lift and cueing device: an oil-damped device, fully adjustable for correct cueing Static low frequency response: The fundamental resonance will vary according to stylus compliance. https://www.vinylengine.com/library/mayware/formula-iv.shtml Pictures: Edited February 14, 2018 by CCallil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
