Your link is for a used original. I bought one of the 3-D printed new ones for $50.00 and it is a nice quality piece. Looks identical to the original except for the 3-D printed texture and the contact pins are of better quality than the originals. It is a really tight fit in the tonearm, but I figure that is a good thing. Recommended.

If you are looking for increased performance from your XA, I would heartily recommend upgrading the sub-chassis with a newer design of poly or acrylic design. Vinylengine.com contributor snfrosten has information on sub- chassis information and mods for AR tables. This will allow you to change the stock tonearm for a more user-friendly, modern tonearm with a better headshell. I made the change-over years ago and have never looked back.
I will check it out. I have my father's XA and a thrift store XB, and am not very fond of the stock AR arm.

My original broke off at the threads and I had to drill through. Considering a replacement on principle (new), or slotting the original to allow better cartridge alignment.
Sometimes you get tired of rebuilding..
