16" Tone Arm

Why don't you get a good 12" and a dead one and extend the good one by using the existing tubes?
The only thing you may have to do is add a bit of extra weight on the counter ballance at the rear
A bit of copper tube around 1/4" long that fits inside with a tiny amount of solder will do the trick
Do it in the staight section so as to preserve the s's extend the wires or replace them and here you are
These 16" jobs seem to have hit sky high prices now days
A bending kit and a bit of new tube will also be a 10th of the price of an arm You can use all the other bits they where common to both
The bayonet at the end is only push fit in most of them with a little screw in them so it is not an issue
Any way you may want to consider doing the above if the cost of a 16" arm is beyond your means
Cheers
