Hi Lance,

I have an LP12, and before that a Hydraulic Reference, so fiddly "high maintenance" does not scare me. I setup turntables professionally trough the 80's. I have the TTS-3000 table. What table do you have? This arm appeared on a few. Actually what I have is a TTS-2000, which is the TTS-3000 and a PUA-237 which was sold as a package with a sprung plinth and a VC-8E MC cartridge. Even though it is belt drive, it was supposed to be a pro table, so I suspect it is fairly rugged. I better check the plastic on my arm more closely. I may be in the same predicament. If so, I will also try glue. I suppose the part can be fabricated but it won't be cheap. 3D printing might even be a possibility. My plan is to get it up an running and see if I like it better than my Linn. People have told me I would.

I found it in a thrift store for a song. The place usually doesn't have much audio equipment. I go there for records and CDs. Imagine my surprise when I saw this sitting on the shelf for a song! Unfortunately, it was missing a headshell, which might have had a Sony VC-8E on it. That would have been fun to play with! I have a Denon 103 with a broken cantilever that I was going to send to SS for a retip. that should work well.

It has also been recommended that I go to a layered Baltic Burch ply plinth, but I will try the stock floating plinth first. So many toys and so little time!

Good luck with your arm and table!!!!

Dave
