Looks like an early Hadcock - possibly a GH-220.

I agree, it does I had one for a while back in the early 1980's fitted with a Denon 103 moving coil cartridge. It all sounded very good but I recall that the arm seemed very fiddly to get all the various adjustments "spot on"

It could be GH-228 like this one https://www.vinylengine.com/library/...k/gh-228.shtml

Re: Could anybody identify this tone arm for me?
Thank you everyone for your replies, I do believe it's a GH-228 after doing some research based on your suggestuions here.
The counter weight is sagging quite badly, i'm assuming this is down to the rubber fitting, I may have to get creative with an alternative!

I sold them back in the day We used to purchase them from George Hadcock
Went to his house on a few occasions and listened to his arms via a quad valve setup with stacked ESL57 superb Trev |

Re: Could anybody identify this tone arm for me?
Lenco tonearms suffer from that counterweight sag after a while - could be worth searching the Lenco Heaven forum for tips?
