Tonearm Service
I have recently been really surprised and delighted by the sound quality from a combination of a new tonearm and my favourite MM cartridge - the ADC ZLM. The tonearm is a super lightweight vintage affair - the Denon DA401 - with a carbon fibre tube and resin headshell. It appears to be a perfect match for the high compliance ZLM and the sound quality with my Sony TTS8000 is really, really good and a definite alternative to the more massy arms and MC cartridges I have.
Given how delighted I am with the arm, but also knowing its age, I am looking for someone to service and internally rewire it. A bearing check/replacement and lubrication seem to me to be sensible and I am looking for recommendations for tonearm specialists.

Normally, I would ask Audio Origami but they only work on SME, Rega and Linn now.

I would use Dominic Harper at North West Analogue, not too far from you

What about Angus (Phonomac).

Audio Origami.
I have used them on a few occasions.

The first post states why not.

I too would have recommended Johnny at Audio Origami, as he repaired the sagging suspension on one of my SME arms.
However I also took note of the final sentence of Geoff's query. The other recommendations are likely to be more successful.

That’s strange he did my alpha son recently.

How recent was that?
I hope Johnny is still willing to service, repair and modify other tonearms, as I would be interested in having my EMT 929 modified.
I guess the obvious answer is to phone Audio Origami to find out.
