I found a couple of good articles that may help, one on refurbishing
the AR, the other on modifying.

I just bought an Acoustic Research XA Turntable on ebay to fix for my
own personal use. The turntable is missing the headshell and the
stylus. I
have
been told that AR TT's use an exclusive headshell that cannot be
replaced with other brands. This means that I will have to either
find an AR headsheall or change the tonearm. Does anyone have advice
on changing the tonearm on this table? Or does anyone know where I
can obtain a headshell that will fit on the AR tonearm?

Please help! Thanks,
Nicole.




Wow,
that was just what I needed. Great literature. Thanks a lot for the tip.
I'm not ready to change the tonearm but the refurb info was really
helpful.
Best,
Nicole.
