I'm back from my hols and have spent no time getting the new cardas arm sorted. The arm itself is a teccie Kab cardas which i opted for on the grounds of cost. I had a word with j7 and he's removing the old arm, fitting the new and attaching a set of pimpmeister ext leads & phonos. I also sent him the Kab terminal block but have basically let him 'get on with it' as i'm sure he'll do whatever is best for the arm. inc 'Special D' each way the work is costing £66
The pics show:
1/the dust cover and phono clamp. remove a couple of screws to reveal:

2/the internal gubbins that gives sme so many sleepless nights ;):

3/ At the 1'oclock postion there is a pillar on which a circlip was fitted. removal of this allowed the whole assy to be unscrewed by turning the VTA collar.Also of note is the L/H screw on the pcb - the earth lead is attached here by tab washer, one end goes out with the phonos,the other snakes off in to the decks' internals. It remains to be seen how this will be re-attached. poo leads snipped for transport:
