I think you mean Hw-19? Anyway, nice machine. What tonearm does it have as some were sold less tonearm, others were equiped with an AudioQuest  PT series?

  I bought it without tonearm. I am going to put a Jelco 10.5 arm on it.

   Yes It was me. I took your advice and called VPI to see if it would fit. They said yes, but the dust cover mite hit the tonearm. I bought the TT without a dust cover. I can have one made to cover the whole TT thus clearing the tonearm. Thanks for your help!

   I got it from a guy on Agon. Just look in the tonearm section. It's not the same guy selling the 9" Jelco arms. This guy just sells the 10.5 "S" shaped arm with fluid damping. He is located in Australia. The arm comes in black and silver or all black. It took just 6 working days to recieve the arm via US mail. I gave him excellent feedback but it does'nt snow up in his ad for some reason.
Thanks, David 8)
