Just saw this on ebay and wondered if anyone here has heard one?

1 Grado Lab Series Wood Tonearm Transcription Turntable - eBay (item 200282360211 end time Feb-28-09 08:49:43 PST)

I've not come across this setup before but looks interesting -- great pics, anyway. Pretty solid-looking deck.

That tonearm... um... it's "interesting" \

neat though for collectors. nice pics as well, thanks for sharing.

Cool deck indeed.

That Grado reminds me of the tone arm reminds me of the Gray viscous damped arms:

I believe Laurent has a Grado table. I haven't heard one though

That Grado reminds me of the tone arm reminds me of the Gray viscous damped arms:

I've not seen one of those Grays but years ago I had a semi-kit Well-Tempered TT that used a viscous-damping system (paddle in silicon? can't recall for certain) and it sounded terrific, though it was finicky to set up and maintain and more than once I found trapped insects/small animals drowning in the paddle-pool thingie.

best,
