Wanted: electric tonearm

Post by kirtley2012 »

I'm working on a bit of a side project making a turntable for 78's for my hifi system, I've got a 30's HMV electric motor, got a case but need a tonearm

Wondering if anyone may happen to have a turntable tonearm lying around, lightweight style, I've got a 30's marconi arm but it's just too heavy as I'll be playing a lot of later 78's

I'm in the UK just for considering shipping and import

Cheers!

How about a Goldring? it was stuffed in an ALBA from your side..
Perfect-ish condition. Tape is only there to hold a needle for some reason :)

$20.00?

Thanks man, but I need a tonearm that doesn't use a steel needle, should have said, it'll tear up some later records I have

Ahhh, I gotcha.. I have a bunch of tonearms but could you provide pictures of what you are looking for?
I have tone arms from the 50's but that might be too late..

50's might work, later the better, ideally I'd use a modern turntable tonearm but the price of some of those is daft
