Default Sota Sapphire Arm Indentity
This is a Sota Sapphire from the late 80's, does anybody recognize the arm and if so what is the table worth.

I have a new (vintage) turntable in the house, couldn't pass up a deal, it also had an Ortofon X3-MC cartridge to boot. Initial audition was very good, it needs a belt and while I'm inside, the power supply caps will be updated. First impression puts this table above my Thorens TD125MKII but I need a belt to make a final review. I'm hoping this table will compete with the VPI Scout or an older Linn LP12 (both different designs).

John.......Just can't pass up a good deal, uha? Sounds like it was a really good deal. Keep us posted. Maybe a few photos after she's cleaned up.
