I'm mark.
Thanks for the pointout, Geoff.
1)Have you ever seen or know any quality small connector to replace this heat-sensible plastic part ?
I think I have seen a very small round DIN similar connector, diameter about 5mm on one short VdH cable that came with some old Clearaudio phono-stage I have bumping around..
Or are most just going through a short pain in soldering & leave it well alone later..?
2) New Dual coax in the sort of, say Klotz MC5000 or the like ? What do you suggest.. ?
3) My Troika should fit ok-ish if the threads in the head are fine, no spot on perfect 0 point justage possible, perhaps..but not sure.
Why did you drill your's...or why you choose to use long bolts instead ?
Are the bearings typically fine if not confronted with abnormous force...after that long time..?
Stay with the original if you can Torsten, but I think Oliver (Bigman80) knows of a source for replacements. I expect he'll be along to advise soon.
I drilled my head block because the threads were a bit worn.
The arm bearings are normally fine and best left alone unless you suspect a problem.
Do not overtighten the screw on top of the arm clamp. The alloy (white metal) housing can crack. It just has to grip the tube, that's all.
You may need to add a small amount of mass at the head block with the Troika. As I did with my ZYX.

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
There is a short supply at British audio IIRC. I paid £15 for the male part only !!! I'd get on now just in case you melt the original. In all honestly I sent mine to J7 to be rewired (spare wand) and now I don't have to worry about anything lol. To be honest my soldering skills are novice at best.
I did a thread on here demonstrating two rewires.
I'll try and find the link to the 4 pin

"Contact Mike at the Moth Group, British Audio online, he should be able to advise/help you"
Mike did have them. He'd be your best bet now.
