Unknown tonearm - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

I wonder if the vintage tonearm experts can help. I've got a Garrard 401 to service and the arm is also in need of some TLC. I don't recognise the model although it looks a bit Ortofon/Supex in design. I've trawled the net without finding the specific model. Does anyone recognise it? It's not particularly sophisticated so, not high end but the customer just wants it working again. Any information would be helpful, many thanks. John

If memory serves, it's a NEAT of some sort. The G-30 is similar but not quite the same.

Many thanks for the response. That is a new contender ! It`s similar to a lot of arms from that period but frustratingly, can`t pinpoint the exact make and model.
