Worth picking one up at this price? (I don't usually have trouble with standard cup 'n' cone headsets...what makes needle bearings so much nicer in actual practice?)
I'm pretty sure this is the A9 with cartridge bearings, not the one with needle bearings. I ordered one last year thinking it was one with needle bearings to have as an eventual replacement for the needle bearing version installed on my '87 Paramount. When I received it, it had cartridge ball bearings. It was a big disappointment.
