A little fix for a broken Fidelity Research FR64s / FR66s tonearm.
This is a replacement fit for the lateral weight mounting rod - these do seem to get sheared off.
No easy way to remove the sheared off bit / replace sometimes.
I make a very thin walled sleeve that fits over the arms lateral weight mounting position. This can be hobby glued in place by the customer and the lateral weight used as normal.
Pictured here, with and without my own lateral weight - testing the fit.
Also a pic of the raw stainlesssteel bar.
Matching finish to the original.
Off to the USA soon.
