If you buy one make sure that you remove the main counterweight before
transporting it. The counterweight is decoupled from the rest of the arm
by a thin wire which is easily broken if the deck is bumped (as I've
found from personal experience). If possible, take a look at the manual
before moving the deck because there could be a few other things that
ought to be done before the deck is moved.

Cheers.

The other thing to watch out for is that the soft plastic 'V-blocks'
that the arm knife-edge bearings sit in tend to disintegrate. I believe
replacements are available, though I don't know where from.
