I've never even heard of Ortofon tonearms before. Were they any good?

The one I am familiar with, the AS212, was especially heavy.
Excellent to use with Ortofon VMS20 or the heavier MC carts.
The one I once had, was fitted with a Sonus cart, of which I forgot
the typenumber.
The arm wasn't exceptional in quality, if my memory serves me right.
I soon started using the 3009 II arm, which provided better tracking
and damping.
They were made during the '70s and early '80s.
