Unknown Micro Seiki Tonearm

[Sauron]

Hello!

I've posted two pics of a unknown tonearm probably made by Micro Seiki. It looks like an extra long version of the well known MA-77 and a friend of mine means that must be a MA-88. But he's not sure.

Please have a look in the Micro Seiki gallery. I hope there's anybody who can give some information about this arm.

Thank you!

Is anybody out there? No idea?

I haven't a clue, but here are the pictures to hopefully jog someone's memory?

Hi,
I have a boxed MA77 myself. Found a picture (not mine) in the gallery,

your arm certainly looks quite similar, more complex counter-weight arrangement, with lateral balance perhaps? It has the black fixed curser and little red dot for vta/levelling as per the 77 though. Sorry, but can't supply any more info or a model number.

I've never got round to using the MA77, sits in it's box, just waiting. Does anyone know anything about these. Are they any good?

It's this pic that makes me believe that it is a long version of the MA-77.

I know Audiocraft/Ultracraft tonearms very well and I don't think this is one.

Hi,
It's a Micro Seiki MA-88. I have an MA-77 and will be uploading the Japanese owners manual which covers the MA-77 and MA-88 models in the next week or so. I hope you can read Japanese because it's all Greek to me!
