Welcome back Dave.

If you don't want to or can't justify replacing the arm completely at this point (as I haven't - yet), then I would definitely second Shuggie's suggestion, as this was exactly what I did.

Johnnie at Audio Origami did a complete nose-to-tail rewire, replacing the stock arm wiring and trailing phonos, plus foam-filling the arm tube and checking all the bearing tolerances for £140, and as a stop-gap to full arm replacement, I'm pretty pleased with it.

Upside is that you can just remove the whole arm and height-adjustment mount, pack carefully and send away and it comes back ready to go and quite simple to re-install.

Downside is that you'll probably be turntable-less for about 3 weeks, depending on Johnnie's work-load.

this is the route im taking.. in fact looking at your list of bits, apart from the different headshell and the fact that yours is a mk5 we are gonna have a similar set up
the mg10 worked very well in the end by the way.. to my eye it just lined up straight away!
you still looking at getting that terminator one day?

Thanks for the link to that cable, Chris. Perhaps I'll consider buying it for my 1210 and CS621 even though the 621 doesn't need a ground wire.

Cheers

Joerg
