Reed 2gTonearm Torn Wire & rewiring HELP please
I have unfortunately torn my Reed 2g tonearm cable at the proximal end where it plugs in - I was unable to remove the cable from where it plugs in to the main central part of the arm - it seems to go into a piece of stainless steel but I was unable to move this, slipped and snapped the wire . Anyone know how the cable is removed at that end?
As it was I received the tonenarm assembled so I did not see how this went together
The second question is how do you insert the cable at teh proximal end as it goes in through a very small hole ...is this something that only Reed can do?

@thaluza thank you for the heads up and advice and a big thanks to @mijostyn -- I do not know how to disassemble the junction box - the RCA cables go in the back and appear to have a metal "grommet" that screws in .. |
@docfar I hope you realise that tonearm bearings are fragile. If you have applied enough force to tear the cable you may well have demaged the bearings. You should send the arm back to Reed for repair and check for any other wear or damage. I would have suggested you stick to your knitting, but with all due respect, I wonder how many patients went in for a minor procedure and left with a partial lobotomy. |
