I have for sale an unusual and wonderful arm: A Gray 208s with fantastic care and improvements.

This is a 16” Transcription arm, and you probably know much about it if you are here.

Here is why this one is worth a good look:

It is complete.  I have all parts (headshell, arm rest, proper new full silicone fluid syringe).  I will also include the owners manual (copy, not original).

It has a new custom Mirko bearing (Google Mirko Djordjevic if you do not know him) and this  makes this at least as good as new.  Low hours on the bearing.  Same baseplate mount size etc – see pictures.  Basically a new and improved bearing which makes a big difference.

It has a new continuous run of OHNO wiring for mono – terminating in an Eichmann bullet plug (Silver).  This is also a huge improvement form original - needless to say - and sounds amazing.

The rest is original and in good shape (again – see pictures).  Plays great – hard to beat this on any Mono rig – and it also can be wired for stereo (of course).

The work on this arm (Mirko bearing, wiring) cost a good chunk of (nearly as much as) the asking price.  I cannot imagine another like this out there; this is a great opportunity for someone looking for this particular arm (or simply an amazing arm).

Note: The arm is fully assembled.  Some pictures show details of the arm bearing etc... but what you get is the fully assembled functioning arm!

Also- for reference - last week the same model in unrestored and unwired condition, old bearing (not Mirko!) rusted screws scratched and corroded - without arm rest or manual - sold for $720 on eBay, which makes this offering a steal.    http://www.ebay.com/itm/GRAY-radio-station-vintage-16-034-transcription-turntable-tonearm-/161370989836?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=%252B4661jWZBSWnG9zk1dF3k6a9fjI%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

Adult audiophile home – smoke/pet/child free.  Cared for.  Read my feedback - it will be as described and pictured.

PayPal carries the usual fees (3-3.5% depending on payment method).  Shipping is on the buyer – and this will be VERY WELL PACKED at my cost – you pay the freight.  International buyers – PayPal is 5% and all sales are FINAL and shipping is at actual cost to you and arm must be insured for the actual price paid.
