SAEC WE-407/23 tonearm for professional. It is one of the best short tonearm of Japanese.

It works perfectly, comes with original counter weight, antiskating weight, lateral weight. Item was tested and working perfectly.

Specification:

Adopts a double knife edge bearing system with no diameter and no resistance.
WE-407/23 has improved processing accuracy, achieving ultra-high accuracy of less than ±1/500mm. In addition, we have succeeded in miniaturizing the double knife edge using the latest high-precision processing technology and hand processing that can be described as craftsmanship, and have achieved flexibility for high compliance and lightweight cartridges.

In addition to a mechanical equalizer that optimally damps low-frequency resonance, it also uses a newly developed mechanical damping mechanism, successfully lowering Qo without sacrificing critical movement.
The bearing that supports the knife edge is concealed by ultra-precision machining of hard steel, and is designed to prevent shifting or lifting under any force.

Adopts a string hanging type inside force canceller.
This mechanism also features Saek's unique automatic stylus pressure slight increase mechanism, which increases the stylus pressure as it moves toward the inner circumference of the record. In particular, by preventing the tip of the needle from rising on the inner periphery, the high range is stabilized and playback with less distortion is possible.
