Tonearms question - Please help

I am completely new to Audiogon, have never posted to forums
and am looking for help. Please forgive any stylistic errors I might make.

I have a Denon DP 60L and the tonearm was destroyed by movers. I need to replace it somehow. I don't know if I could ever find an actual denon tonearm which would be great. If anyone has any thoughts about that please share them. I also was wondering if anyone could tell me if one of the aftermarket tonearms I see on this site would fit my DP 60L and how I go about making the whole thing happen.

I realize these are probably simple questions for many of you but I really need help so any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

There are two key things you're concerned about.

One is the pivot to spindle distance - the distance from the center of the mounting hole to the record spindle. On the 250 style Jelco, it's 214 mm.

The other issue is whether your Denon's platter height is standard. A good working number is for the top of the platter to be about 1-3/8" (1.375") above the surface of the armboard.

Dealer disclaimer - I sell the Jelco arms under the Artisan Audio badge.

Cheers,
