    Default Cost of Decca London tonearm rewire

    Trying to get an idea how much rewiring a Decca London unipivot arm will be, I've asked for some quotes but this is a unknown arm in Australia and I can't get a set price, the tech's are giving their hourly rate but that's all.
    Although it's old as the hills I quite like the London, it's a relaxed musical performer, and given the huge price of new arms I'm not looking to replace it. The other issue with replacing it is that its one of the few 9in arms that will mount on a SP10.
    Since this is a UK arm I'm hoping I can get an idea of time and cost, it's also not impossible I'd send it to the UK for the work to be done.
    Without music, powerboat racing, photography and a whole stack of other stuff that floats my boat, life is just a non stop procession of deadlines and bills.
