Any idea where to find Micro Seiki tonearm parts?


Specifically the main counterweight and arm pipe screw for an Ma-505III. I have already tried Ebay, machine shop, etc. Looking for more specific info. Thanks!

The counterweights or their replacements are occasionally available in Japan. I'd have thought a 'NOS original armpipe screw' would be impossible to find, but could probably be replaced with another '3rd party' screw. I will take a look around for the C/W.

Elizabeth, the other way to do it is to only buy TTs where the parts can be found. For Micro Seiki 1500-series TTs, and things like Garrard 301s, all parts can be found given a bit of time (and the willingness to part with money for them).
Donshoemaker,
For the weights, there is a guy here who sells MA-505-series main weights and sub weights (his store is a metal workshop). The main weight is JPY 9,000 (about US$90), and the subweight JPY 1,000 less (about $10 less). To me that is a fair bit (shipping would add a bit but not much) but 'parts arms' go for more, and I don't know what a machinist where you are would charge. There is another guy who does MS parts and I will try to get his name/site and post it here soon.
I am looking for a motor or rotor (spindle and magnet) for my DQX 1000.
Any infomation of where I can get this from is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Also, look on eBay for a machinist who sells anti-skate weights for Dynavector tonearms and the like, "Peter" by name I think. Contact him. He can make anything. He made a perfect reproduction of a main counterweight for my DV505 (the thing that looks like a small hockey puck at the rear of the pivot point), at the exact correct weight as well.

Hi T_bone. Any idea where I can find a Kenwood headshell for the KD-770D, the one with the straight armwand but uses SME style connector with angled detachable headshell? So so very hard to find...

Thanks!
