If you decide to move the arm on let me know! Ive been after one of those for a while......
Or get a high compliance cart such as an at150 sa

Ta, its perfect for the at carts I like, the at150 sa and the 440mlb.

At the moment i have the 150 in a mayware formula 4 on my lenco conversion ( the demonstrator model I built), my goldring eroica on the robot armed jvc ql-y5f I restored that the wife won't let me sell as its automatic, and nothing on the jbe as I took the mayware off it. The at440mlb needs a home too.

I also have an acos lustre gst1 that I had to have (doesnt have the base and needs abit of work) that is to go on a planned 2 armed lenco demonstrator similar to the 99 I did for the doc for mc duties, with a light arm being the other one.

Stick the alphason arm on that pioneer and you'll never want another deck again.
Imo they are stunning
