	Does anyone own a new AR turntable or has anyone had any
experience with it or information on it?

			Thanks,

(oo)
I can't speak for the new one, but I had endless headshell problems
with the old one.  The headshell was mounted in a plastic bushing that
was press-fit into the tone arm.  It was *very* difficult to remove the
headshell without twisting this bushing out of alignment.  I finally
gave up and got rid of it.  The old AR was a very good performer, though,
despite the headshell problem.

I just bought the new AR turntable for about half the list price
(it was a demo).  The problem is it didn't come with a owner's
manual (or whatever documentation it normally comes with).  I
didn't figure this was a problem since I knew *someone* on 
net.audio must own one.  Could any of you who own this model
and have the doc that I am missing please drop me a note?
I either need a copy of it or the address of the company where
I can write to get it (I guess I also have ot know what exactly
comes with it).  I appreciate any help that people can give.
