Ali very kindly loaned me a Mission 774 arm to try on my 1210 Mk 5. Not completely installed yet as I don't have the counterweight so I made a temporary one ;) :lol:

Had a bit of a panic last evening as it only played no 1 channel, stripped the TT again this morning and discovered that the interconnect wires had broken at the the little board that fixes to the underside of the arm plate, never soldered anything before but managed it fine, not pretty but it works, kind of like myself :eek:
I then fixed a plate to the underside of the TT to capture the interconnect cable to prevent further pulling.
Here's a closeup of the counterweight ( patent applied for .... )

Ali has the real one as I left it by mistake when I collected the arm last weekend :doh:
I will need to sort out the anti skate but seems to be fine just now.
