I was following that auction also, but was a bit worried about the seller, who didn't have any feedback. No reason to doubt his worthiness, but I had decided on an upper limit of around thirty bucks, to limit losses if he turned out to be a fink. And when I checked this morning, it had already gone past that limit.
I'm glad you got such a good price on it, and hope you like it.
I had assumed it was related to the Adcom range, or perhaps the Apature or Audioquest high outputs, but looking at the Audio Annual for 1984, I see that it has an output of 3.5 mV, which is considerably higher than the 2.5 or so that the others put out, so it might either be a creative rating, or completely unrelated. The NAD 9001, a very nice cartridge claims 3 mV, so it might be related to it. It doesn't seem to have similar specs to the Ortofon though.
