Revolver Deck Linn LVX arm woes

**UV101** · 17-02-2010, 23:08

Hi Guys, been a while since I thought about vinyl but a conversation with Marco got reminded me of my TT stashed away in a box in the loft.

Following an unfortunate incident, the arm tube was snapped just behind the headshell. I'm sure I already know the answer but is it possible to repair the arm?

The photo attached is an image I found on ebay but its snapped pretty much where the picture starts

Thanks Chris

, I'll get some photo's and email him.

Does he post here at all?

If anyone can sort it, he can.

If Johnie can't, the LVX goes for far less money than the inferior LVV for some obscure reason, so a replacement shouldn't be a problem and armed with metric Allen keys and some stud-loc, you'll have a half decent arm again in no time.

Jelco made the arm originally. I wonder if they make any compatible parts?

Good luck!

Wouldnt it be cheaper buying a new LVX then get someone to do the work.

There are a couple on eBay at the moment. 1 for a 1st bid of £99 and 1 with a bin of £125.

In completed 1 didnt sell for £99, 1 went for £92 and one finished with no bids @ 99p(i'm guessing this finished early)

Whats the arm really worth??

EDIT: It's marked a Basik LVX if that makes any difference

The basik Plus with fixed shell was better than your average over-tightened LVX, but both will now suffer from a fatigued liquifying counterweight decoupling tube and I don't think replacements are available...

If you get a replacement LVX, a few small drops of stud-loc around the rear of the socket in the gap where the pipe goes in works wonders for smoothing out the sharpness of the sound it otherwise has....

Funny, watched a complete revolver deck including the arm finish for £90 the other day! Thats more than the arm goes for on its own!!!
