Tonearm issue


JA Michell turntable with Tecnoarm working perfectly last night when the left channel went out. After determining that the issue was not in phono stage, amps, or preamp, I narrowed it down to the left side (blue and white) wiring in the tonearm (or the left side RCA plug).  Rather than purchasing an entirely new tonearm, I figure best option is to replace either the wiring, RCA plug, or both. Has anyone done this on a Tecnoarm?  Is it difficult?  YouTube video and Google searches didn’t turn up much.

OP, I had the same issue w/ my Technoarm, left channel would go out intermittently. The tonearm cable was frayed at the RCA connector, apparently this is not an uncommon problem w/ the Technoarm.

I upgraded to a SME M2 9R, however, I do intend to get the Technoarm fixed eventually. When I do, I’ll send it out to a professional to rewire.
