Fons International Mk I with Mayware Formula 4

SME III tonearm with Stanton 681 cartridge was the best match to FONS suspension. Ideal 10 Hz resonance, perfect trackability. See that test on youtube.

Modification included new plinth, dampening the case and sub-chasses and other details.

This Fons CQ variant dates from the mid-1970s. Bought used in 1976 without Arm. I added the Mayware Arm. Currently has a Ortofon OM20 cartridge mounted on it. Still has original belt. The transistors from the tachometer controller have been replaced once (they "went"). This was not a very expensive repair.

This is a later variant of the Fons CQ30 model, I believe from the late 1970s. TT was purchased 2 years ago without arm, SME was mounted later. Cartridge is a Grado Prestige Silver.
