Ortofon Tonearms Help Needed
(Lukas) said:
I want to find out more about ortofon turntable arms. They
don't produce them anymore, and Ortofon company in Denmark doesn't
even have any info about them neither spare parts for them.
I have one and it needs some restoration so any help in identyfiing
the model as well as obtaining spares would be highly appreciated.
If you can send me a picture of it, I might be able to identify it and
get some spare parts for you.
As I'm located in the Netherlands, it's still relatively easy to get
parts overhere.
If yours is an Orthophon 212, I might have some spare parts lying
around
I also look for working wire recorder so if you have one to sell or
trade just drop me a line.
On our local Internet marketplaces, every now and then a wire recorder
is advertised.
Going prices are from some Euro 200 to infinity.
Count in some shipping to your country, which is Poland if I'm not
mistaking?
If you like, I can try to get hold of one here.
Remember that most gear selling here is 220V/50 Hz, so you'll probably
need a transformer and, in some instances, when an asyncrhonous motor
is used, a frequency convertor annex AC power amplifier to run the
motor if you're on 60 Hz.
Changing motor pulleys doesn't always work since some gear is driven
directly from the motor axle via an interchange wheel, the diameter of
which doesn't have influence on the wire speed.
BTW; I'm off to Germany next week without Usenet and e-mail access, so
don't be offended if it takes till after next week to get an answer
from me.
