There's one up now and I can see the long trailing wires in the picture

Well, arm bought, bodged in and no sound - apart from a loud hum!

So, I'm very frustrated and not thinking straight.
I'm learning very quickly that I am not very good at DIY!
I have two problems - loud him (probably a rubbish connection between the ground wire an the arm)
- no sound! Probably wired it in wrong.
I know nothing about tonearm wire. I'm not sure what to do now or how to explain the problem. Will try again tomorrow when I can think a bot more dispassionately about it.
Grr!

Well, I've fiddled and bodged a bit more with no further results. Just the humming (which gets much worse if I decouple the wire that connects to my pre-amp).

So, I'm out of ideas and beyond the extent of my knowledge and common sense.

I should admit here what I mean by 'bodge'. The only thing I have to connect loose wires is sellotape. So, that is what I have used to connect the wire from my arm to the wire that is already in the machine and connected to the bit which connects to the phono plugs.
