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.

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! _____ |
Hiho, No clue other than to wait for one to come around. I know they made them for after-sale because I saw a table in Japan years ago which came with something like 5 extra headshells still in their boxes. I think the KP-07M made by Micro is the only other 'Kenwood family' table with a straight arm and SME-type headshell mount (and I am only going off what I t-h-i-n-k the KP-07M headshell is having seen the arm a few times. That said, you might try something else... there was a cheapo Denon table made until 4-5yrs ago called the DP-300F. It had the same kind of headshell I am pretty sure. Given there is a Japanese standard which defines the headshell collar to stylus tip distance at exactly a certain distance, it will probably work if you can get the offset angle right. Try googling "PCL- 310" or "Denon DP-300F headshell". The mounting distance is a full inch shorter (Denon shorter) so the offset angle will probably be off, but the Denon headshell has long slots to mount the cart so I bet you could angle the cart out a couple of degrees to get it right. You could probably find one cheap enough on fleapay to have a crack at it. Harmon Kardon also made straight arms with removable headshells back in the day, and perhaps others did too. The other solution would be to put a different arm on, or just wait for the Kenwood headshell (either for the KD-770D or the KP-07M) to come up on fleapay. |
