Hi,

Can anyone here point me to the service manual for my SL1700 Mk1 - or for similar Mk1 SL1600 or 1800? I’ve only found manuals on the Mk2 version which is different in several ways, including the arm.

I’m seeking instructions as to how to safely remove just the arm-tube from the rest of the pivot/gimbal assembly (or whatever it’s called) without having to remove everything including the ‘arm-board’ and risk messing up the arm’s auto-return function.

My reason for seeking to replace the armtube, btw, is that I’m hoping to modify the arm to a straight version similar to that linked here; http://theartofsound.net/forum/showt...well-all-of-it!

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
