Well Tempered Signature turntable and arm

Hello,
since yesterday i have a Well Tempered Signature turntable with matching tonearm.
Unfortunatelly there are so little informations about this product.
The only source for me is on vinylengine.com, from the seller and from an ad reputedly of 1989, but i am not shure if some of these informations are correct:

- prduction date: at the latest from 1989 till at least 1995
- 50 pieces made
- more expensive than WT Reference
- it should be exposed in the Museum of Modern Arts in NY (but i have just found the Well Tempered chair by Ron Arad, sic!)

Have you any correct informations about this nice turntable?

Maybe any cartridge recommendations? I will try my Decca / London Reference Cartridge and DV XV-1s, i think both of them match it quite good.

David on the West Coast and others interested in the WT Signature limited Edition,

Mine is not for sale. i am the humble person that bought it from Julian Price.

However there are two new distributors, one in Canada (charisma) and one in the US (the Dynavector Distributor) that have taken over from the useless Stanalog. They are far more responsive. Charisma will send you a manual for the Signature LTD EDITION, in a heart beat. Toffco-usa will help all WT owners, and even help you find reputable repair shop in your area.

There is hope again!

Oh, these are very good news. Now we (and i) just need someone in Europe!

Any other cheaper cartridge recommendation for about 1000 USD (new or even used)?
My WTS is now not playing, i have sold my DV and London cartridges and would like to reactivate the nice Well.

I've had the original WWT in my system since they first came out. I bought it new. Over the years, I've added several mods. The Brass clamp for the tonearm well was a significant improvement. Rewiring the arm with Cardas wire was another. If you own this table, a custom belt from Originlive.com is an absolute must. The WWT when properly set up, with a few mods as described, will hold its own with tables FAR, FAR more expensive. They're a bargain on the used market. Just be sure you have a WWT guru available to set it up properly. Lucky for me, I have Elliot Midwood of Acoustic Image within driving distance. http://www.acousticimage.com/
