Hi all,
i just got back from a 300 miles trip to pick up my new night time project , a beogram 4000 in exceptional cosmetic condition complete with a perfect looking sp15, didn't want to risk a stranger to post it and cause any damage, obviously when I got there it wasn't working atall , even after been promised it was tested and fully working, it turned out this was 15 years ago, but that's another story😁😁😁.
anyway I very gently attempted to remove the stylus for safe transport and the cartridge mount snapped out of the arm ( still inside the sp15) yes just like the horror seen on the great 400x project thread
i was in the same position a couple months back with a bg8000 that I successful repaired with a donor tonearm from Martin which was a complete success, that machine came to me with it broken so figured it had been badly handled before I got it, but this time it proved it was simply a brittle old age thing, didn't stop me beating myself up all the way home though.😞
i read that there were talks of a possible 3d printing part been possible which I think may be the best route on this issue as it's only going to get more and more common and donor units are the same age afterall.
ive never had any 3d printing done myself so still a black art to me, has there been any development in the part been printed or should I start from the beginning ?
