Alphason HR-100s tonearm cue repair - help


Does anyone know how to repair the tonearm cue of an Alphason HR-100s? It looks like the damping fluid has leaked out of the bottom of the tube used for damping the cue device.

Also, did this tonearm ever come with a finger lift attached to the headshell? If not, has anyone successfully added one?

The plastic headshell lift is mickey mouse. It's easily deformed and tends to compromise cart fastening. There are spare part add-on lifters like a ProJect part sold at Needle Dr. The middle and other hole would have to be trimmed to accommodate the hump in the arm tube. Once fitted properly it should make a better lifter.
Hello Im looking for an alphason tonearm lift
The plastic piece that the tonearm rest on is broken
Many of these lifting devices are the same size. You might find a substitute. Measure the diameter and height of the barrel. If you can't find a used one maybe one from a current arm (like Jelco) will fit. I think Needle Dr. sells ProJect parts. You might have to call to find out if the cueing devise is compatible.
Good luck,

I forgot the arm rest is integral to the lift platform and this is a more serious problem. Is the platform/rest irreparable?
Original parts might be nearly impossible to source. If you can't glue or epoxy it back together, you might want to get in touch with Audio Origami. He does repairs and rewires on old high end arms like this and arms like the Syrinx etc.

If it can't be repaired or replaced, you might have to use a conventional cueing platform and mount a separate arm rest.
