Thank you for the reply. The idea is going for a Woodpecker and maybe move the SME to the woodpecker, althoug this tabel is able to handle 12" arms well. The other option is to trade the Oracle with SME for a woodpecker with 12" (propably with a Melco) arm and keeping the cartride.
I have two dealers who would be willing to go this road.
This is despite i like the Oracle, but it's more work to let it run probably without speed issues which get less when it's running for half an hour or more. Now, when i decide to play a record i have noticed i am more of a press play and run type. So, that's one reason to consider a Woodpecker, which is a formidable player without an endless upgrade path...
