Just checked keywords "turntable headshell types" and under photos, it shows the ADC type headshell as being a match. I know some inexpensive Japanese turntables (Onkyo?, iirc) may have used the same 6-pin connection type headshell, albeit a cheaper plastic type, and perhaps some other mid-fi arms as well. As for the OP question, I'm researching it further. At least with the Akito (all versions) those bearings are replaceable, both horizontal and vertical. As a note, the Basik LV-V and Basik Plus have non-hardened bearing races, so if mishandled, the ball bearings could "dimple" the races, causing "flat spots" to occur (I'm assuming the LV-X is the same, since I never took one apart). Interestingly enough, it worked great and I ended up giving it to a friend for what it cost me to fix it (bearings and rewire plus what it cost me to get it, which wasn't much at all). I had a Linn Akito MK1 with a damaged armtube, so what I did was use the Akito's pillar housing and replaceable bearings and installed the LV-V arm into that. Oddly enough, I did do a highly unusual rebuild on a Basik LV-V (S shape tonearm) - while it's vertical bearings and armtube were intact, the horizontal (pillar) bearing races were damaged beyond any sort of repair (dimpled and non-replaceable). Click to expand.I didn't have the greatest luck with my Basik LV-X arm, either.
