Please help me I am in trouble with my new table..

Hello,

I have been waiting for my cartridge to arrive to set up my new Nottingham Spacedeck w/ Anna arm. This is the first time I have ever attempted to set up a table. I have been getting prepared for this for months. I had everything ready and just when I was almost done I broke a tonearm wire at the clip where it connects to the cart. I can't believe this. I was trying to be as gentle as possible having been warned they were fragile. I am beyond upset. Can someone please tell me how hard this is going to be to get fixed. Can I do it here? This is unbelievable. Please direct me to a thread or how I can get this figured out. I have been buying albums for the past 3 months and now I just feel like I am about to give up. Thanks and sorry for the complaining, just massively disappointed.

Hi Nicks,

I am in the Detroit suburbs too and spanking new member of audiogon, tho I have been reading up for a long time. If you still need help right away, go visit Harry @ Audio Dimnesions on Woodward in Royal Oak. Great guy.

He is about the only guy into real analog in the area as far as I know and you definitely want to know him. I am sure he can help you with a fix. If I stop there this week I will give him a heads up that you might stop by, in case you do.

If I can be of help, drop me a line.

I am just freshly getting into Vinyl and I have to tell you it is habit forming. Addictive. Practically living in these forums now. But having a great time and spinning records every day now.

don't worry about it. I did the same thing on my well tempered classic and was freaking out also. I stripped the wire, dipped it in flux and soldered the new clip on. no big deal. took all of 2 minutes. If you decide to do it yourself, buy a decent soldering iron and flux (is the key). The solder coats the flux in about 2 seconds and you are done. cover it with some heat shrinking plastic, and good as new.

Thanks for all the offers of help. The seller took great care of me & repaired the clip. I was lucky enough to have my only local audio friend come by last night & get the table setup. Now I am finally starting to see what the buzz is about vinyl. WOW. I do need advice on setting anti skate on the Anna tonearm. This was the only setting we couldn't get corrected. No matter where we moved the weight it still skates towards the middle of the table at pretty good speed. Am I missing something? Is there a secret to setting this on the Anna arm? Your help is always appreciated. Thanks.

Are you saying the arm does this when you try to play a normal record? If so you have a different problem than just inaccurate antiskating adjustment.

Please clarify and we'll try to help.
