I must say the III is in really nice condition, very decent orig finish, bright orig nickel plating. The only problem is the elbow. It has two pins to limit the horn's rotation, and is made of two pieces. The upward angle of the elbow doesn't allow the reproducer to pass under it when in the 'disengaged' position, i.e. when sitting on top of the tonearm. I am thinking this may not be the correct elbow for this machine. I put the orig elbow from my Vic II and the repro elbow from the other VIc II, and they are both fine. This seems to be an original elbow, but with a lesser angle..anyone know anything about that?? John
