thank you for the good information, I will call Denon to see if the piece can be secured. As far as testing or replacing it myself, I have trouble with light bulbs, so perhaps the ultimate expense of repair would outweigh the benefit, and I should consider a new turntable!
can an arm be replaced for a denon TT
I purchased, as a second TT to my Technics SL 1300 mkII, a Denon DP 45. When I brought it to a local specialty store to have a cartridge installed, I was told that the arm has a shot wire and I should dump the machine (they said the amount of work involved was not worth the effort). Can it be replaced or fixed, and is it worth it? It seems to return properly, and I only paid $50, but still, I am disappointed. Any suggestions; PS I am not very mechanically adept if this is a big job. Thank you.
