(above) Compared to the MK I, the most apparent change in the MK 2 TP16 tone-arm would have to be the
TP-62 "ISOTRACK Plug-In-Arm", which replaces the TP60 plug-in-head shell of the MK I. The arm rest for the TP-62
is changed from the MK I arm rest to accommodate the different design.

(above) The open end feature of the TP-62 makes one wonder if the design handles resonations differently
from MK I design? It would appear so.
Changes at this end of the TP16 are less obvious. Note the missing threaded end-cover-plug out back?
Also, there are no jam nuts on the horizontal gimbal bearings as on the MK I. Perhaps what is seen would be a cover
that needs removal so that access may be gained to the bearings..? Special tool required. VTF and Anti-skate
adjustment appear to function as before. Azimuth and VTA setup require a special fixture supplied with the table.
Cueing remains the same.
