Ok, so I aquired a Vv 2-60 portable. The tonearm bracket was bad so I epoxied it. But this tonearm pin left by the pervious owner does not fit. I’m assuming it’s the wrong pin. If it is, can you show me what the correct pin looks like? Thanks!

Looks correct...should be gold for the 2-60 .....how was the 4A reproducer ?,useually pot metal and warped cracked

I cannot get it through the bottom hole to the top of the tonearm because the pin is too large. The 4A is cracked but still playable. (For now lol)

Here is mine taper more at the point,mine sticks up a small amount too ...and the bracket is swollen a bit

Here’s another shot of the pin...

Yours looks slimmer ?? Maybe not my calipers have a dead battery or i would measure it

Pot Metal never swells or cracks!....NOT! Here is mine plays tho

And here’s mine!

Well, the epoxy part broke off again! I guess I’m gonna give up the ghost and just get a new replacement bracket.

Mine is okay so far do they make a repro?? Never looked or asked bet all the originals are bad!
