Audiomeca Romance

Hello dear Audiogon forum dwellers,

I have an Audiomeca Romance turntable. The tip of the piece which is in the sleeve of the platter is extremely damaged(do not ask how :). I think because of this the platter is now destabilized and is oscillating badly. I hopelessly need the measurements of this piece. Indeed the length is enough, I think.

The piece I refer to can be seen on the diagram of the Audiomeca Bella turntable below. It is just above the heart.

I tried to contact Mr. Pierre Lurne with no success.

Any help is extremely appreciated.

Thanks.

I've read that paper. Very good intro to how the Audiomeca romance works. The platter runs 11 mm off the plinth.

If I could have found someone who owns a Romance then it would be very easy to replicate the damaged piece. But so far I had no success.

I had a hope that someone using this forum who owns a Romance could help me with the sizes.

Sorry to hear you have not worked out your problem. Ironically I was considering trying to locate a Septum tonearm but am shying away as Pierre's company no longer seems to be operational and I can find no evidence that he is still in the business. It is a shame that he has apparently walked away from his work. Perhaps you can reach out to Tom Mackris of Galibier. He is a really nice guy and very talented designer. His email is: galibier_design@hotmail.com.

Thank you Alan. I haven't been tracking this thread so haven't seen your answer. I agree with you. Pierre shouldn't have left his customers this much alone. But anyway. I will try to contact Tom and discuss the issue with him. Thank you very much again.
