Don't bother. It's not a good arm!
Many of these have passed through my hands and I don't like them, the dual, diagonal gimbal bearings cause the cartridge/stylus to twist from vertical as the arm traverses a record, totally cocking up the azimuth and producing groove wear in strange places.
I would not give a fiver for one (not to mention that they were a only tenner new).

It's still the best thing about a Connoisseur BD2, though...:D

Indeed I recently picked up a BD1 in plinth, with an AT 1005 MkII arm ... actually sounds rather nice.
