I have an original GyroDec (serial number 004 to be precise) and I
payed £500 for it - it came with a Fidelity Research FR64fx tonearm
(+original box & instructions) and a decent MM cart. So I'd say that
the price you've been quoted is way out of line and way too expensive.

As for the arm, go heavy!

Specifically, go for a Rega arm - it is very well suited to the table,

Unless you can afford one of the new SME arms.

Agreed, but if one is looking for a used GyroDec, I doubt that a new
SME is on the shopping list!

Was called into to the local hifi shop to sort out a 'dumb' brand new SME 10
deck and arm this afternoon (headshell incorrectly fitted) - these arms are
*seriously* good IMO. - The deck itself I could (and will have to anyway)
live without, the arm I could use......

Well, if you don't want it, pass it along...... :-)
