- For improved stability and damping, the Scout's chassis is made
from 1 1/8" thick MDF bonded to a 12 gauge steel plate.
- The massive platter is composed of 1 3/8" acrylic and is mounted
to an inverted bearing of Teflon and brass on a 60 Rockwell case hardened shaft.
- The 600 RPM AC synchronous motor is contained in a separate
steel housing and drives the platter with smooth, quiet operation.
- The JMW-9 tonearm is the perfect complement to the Scout,
offering all the advantages of a unipivot tonearm at a bargain price. The arm
has a low friction bearing mounted onto a solid stainless steel rod with a
knurled ring to set VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle). As with the more expensive
JMW-10.5i” and JMW-12.7” arms, the tonearm wand assembly of the JMW-9 can be
removed and replaced in seconds. This allows instant cartridge changes with
multiple armwands.
- An RCA junction box allows any RCA-terminated interconnects to
be used.
- The JMW-9 uses the same geometry and mounting as the Rega RB300
tonearm and can be dropped right into the Rega armhole with no modifications.

"Rather, this is a flat-out, unconditional, "Holy Mother of Crap, I can't
believe how good this thing is" recommendation. It's hard to imagine another way
of spending $****.** that will add this much to your system." - Art Dudley -
