1210 MK II tonearm change out Help!

[Allan W.]

I have a damaged tone arm. I have a new one (Stock Technics 1210 MK II from KAB)and have disassembled the TT to the point of desoldering the leads from the tiny little ic board. The process has been simple and straight forward, thanks to a Youtube video. My problem is that the old tonearm wires are: red, green, white, black & blue. The leads for the newer one are as follows: red, brown,white, black & blue. My guess is brown is taking the place of the green wire. I want to be sure before continuing.

You're right I think. Do you have a multi-meter to check with?

Ask KAB ?

Thank you DSJR. The right solution. The repair is a short term solution. I got the TT to upgrade the arm but I’ve had to put off that plan because of the economic depression.
