Installed Counterweight Stubs
This is it, folks!
We just completed the arm stub retrofit for our remaining stock of Jelco SA-250 tonearms.
We don't expect you to believe this, but we'll say it anyway ...
We've yet to hear a sub $2K tonearm that excels in the manner in which it presents the music than these modified Jelcos.
I've come to think of them as junior 4Points. They more than hint at what you'll hear in a 4Point, and we've adapted their mounting pattern to match that of a 4Point.
We've reserved this last batch of arms for sale with turntable packages. Start with our modded Jelco and plug and play your 4Point when the time is right.
You can read about the arm's development by clicking here, and about our upgrade kits (available to current Jelco owners) over here.
