Parts for Dynavector 501 Tonearm

@islandmandan 

Some of the parts for the 507, which is still current, are the same as the 501 and can be interchanged. I would be surprised if the arm lift mechanism is not interchangeable.

Lew, I heard from Colby this morning, and he informed me he is not able to do any of the work I need done, due to the fire that devastated his home and shop. He figures you just forgot.

I heard from Mike Pranka at Dynavector USA, I asked him if an arm-lift assembly was available from the 502 MLk II. He said he'd have to check with the factory to see if the newer parts will fit.

I told him I looked at the 507 already, and it looked like the parts would fit. I told Mike to just order the parts for me, that I will make them work. I  don't know who came up with the idea of using the parts from the 507, but I thank them for thinking of it for me.

Thanks everyone for your help, regards,

Dan

Mike Pranka is the name I could not conjure, the Dynavector distributor in the US. You're in good hands.  I thought Colby was back up and running. Sorry.

You are welcome.

While you are at it the 507 Base with the VTA adjuster also fits the 501 if your 501 doesn't already have it. It is quite course in operation but useful. I use it with a bronze stabiliser I custom built that goes under the armboard - friction fit plus 3 tapped screw holes to mate with the VTA Base.
