I have a Technics SL 1100A turntable that is fitted with a Grace arm that
uses a thin piece of what looks like fishing line between the arm and the
antiskate device. A number of years back that line broke, and I replaced it
with a very fine Nylon fishing line. I can't remember what diameter the line
is but it has been working ok ever since. BTW the original piece was tied to
the two posts but I took the easy way out using glue to connect the new
piece. Just my 2 cents

This is typical, a pulley. The Sony is different in that the line
actually exerts tension on the arm without an external weight.
