This is a single owner (father/son) Fidelity Research FR-64s. (Internal copper wiring version). Conservatively, rated as 7 due to age.
The venerable FR-64s tonearm needs no introduction and there is plenty of available information and reviews about it.
Constructed from stainless steel, this vintage Japanese tonearm is still highly regarded in the audiophile world and for some, retains cult status level. This was Fidelity Research’s original dynamically balanced tonearm employing the same spring as the FR66s/66 to apply tracking force.
For its entire life, this tonearm has been mated to a Technics SP10-Mkii and a Mark Levinson MLC-1 (Miyabi) moving coil low compliance cartridge, producing spectacular dynamics when mated to an ML-7/ML-3 combo.
The tonearm is in very good working condition, and aesthetically, apart from some discoloration/peeling on the armtube-to-head-shell locking collet connector, is very well preserved (see pics). It has been in dry storage for twenty years, as I went the belt drive route during that time and didn’t have a need to use my Technics/FR64s/MLC-1 setup.
