Anybody ever replaced an arm in a Technics automatic TT?

Vinyl Asylum

Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

I'm considering replacing the stock Technics arm on an SL-1300 MKII with an AT 1005 MKII. My thinking at the moment is to completely remove all mechanical / electrical parts of the Technics arm, making this a manual table. I'm also thinking of fashioning a tonearm mounting board to replace what is now in the Technics. Anybody have any idea whether or not I'm about to open a can of worms?
Thanks,
Ken

I don't think he's into replacing the arm, though. [nt] - Howard K 20:42:34 12/11/06 (1)

Maybe not but he does know the "innards" of those decks. /nt\ - HenryH 06:19:19 12/12/06 (0)
