Who rebuilds Dynavector Tonearms?

Dan, If you have any questions about your arm try Audiocircle.
Mike Pranka is the Dynavector rep and has a circle under Well Tempered. He is always quite helpful.

Hello Marty, Lew, all,

I want to report I was able to adjust the slack out of the main bearing, it now feels perfect in its rotation, with no slack in the main bearing, as before.

Thanks Guys,
Regards,
Dan

Islandman, that may be normal. If you look at the arm while you are lifting it, where is it pivoting? If it is pivoting at a point below and to the rear of the actual horizontal bearing, that is normal.

Thank you, Marty, and warmest wishes of the season to you as well. Decadence is good, in moderation.

Lewm, thanks for your response. The arm feels good as it moves laterally (or in the horizontal plane), very smoothly, there is no sign of roughness, or other indicators of a bad bearing. The main arm can be moved a bit in the vertical, or up and down, if you hold the base of the arm, and gently lift up and down at the end of the main arm. I hope I have explained this well enough to clarify my meaning.

I think I will wait until the project table, a Garrard 401, is completed and see how the arm performs, before I do anything drastic.

Thanks to all, and Merry Christmas
Dan

Islandman, I have a DV501 that is virtually NOS. It was given to me by a close friend who never used it and bought it new. I also own and regularly use a 505. To answer your question, what do you mean by "play". Where the bearing is located, there should be no play in the verical plane, but the whole assembly can move vertically, in the up direction a bit. But no twist or vertical motion at the actual site of the bearing, between the horizontally pivoted part of the arm and its support.

Hello Marty,

Seasons Greetings! Thanks for the info, it's much appreciated. Hope all is going well for you and yours.

Best Regards,
Dan
