The system is supplied as a bulk set, i.e. you will receive the system body together with the needle in a compact plastic box without screwdriver.
All OM models have the same body, construction and magnetic circuit. The only difference is the exchangeable needle carrier unit, i.e. you are welcome to start testing with this system and “upgrade” to OM 30 or OM 40 at any time.
