Audio Technica/Signet

Signet was the audiophile division of Audio Technica, and the brand never existed in other countries, all the Signet arms were branded Audio Technica. The two arms offered here were the XK-50 and XK-35. The AT-1009 (bottom picture) was a broadcast standard for many years, Available both in 9 and 12 inch versions (AT-1012). Never a huge fan of the Signets, I still have a 1009 , and really like it except for the pneumatic cueing. A separate manual "pump" connected to an air hose requires an additional hole to be drilled somewhere on the table. Otherwise, a great basic arm.
