Help Identifying this Tonearm Please

[FylB]

Hi,
I've inherited this tonearm (see picture) and the associated Techincs SP-15 turntable. There are no markings on the arm so Im in the dark about the make/model. Can anyone help with this please?

Here's the as yet unidentified tonearm mounted on a Sony TTS-2500. Might help jog a few memories.

I can say that your tonearm is fitted with a Technics headshell!

Audio Technica 1005 ii tonearm. Looks like yours is missing the anti-skate hanger and weight, bummer.

I think its an AT1005 MK11

Thanks Gentlemen! I was starting to think it might be an AT arm. If I were to make up my own antiskating weight and "cable", would anyone happen to know what how many grams the weight is?

Excellent! Thanks Chrisng!

Also, I've been looking for a manual for the AT1005 MK11. Anyone have a current source for it?

Looks like there's one here: https://www.vinylengine.com/library/audio-technica/at-1005.shtml

Yes, I've seen that VinylEngine link but it requires registration and they are not accepting new registrations.

Any other sources would be appreciated.

I don't think there is any issue loading the manual here given that it is available. If I have broken any rules please let me know.
