Hi Martin, Thanks for your replies.I am searching for a new arm and am hopeful! How do I go about buying the belts and the OIL 1 (6v 30mA) if you have it?e-mail peter4oaks@btinternet.com I notice the lamp has some heat sink compound.I assume to disapiate heat into the cover.I have bought some from my local electronics shop.I removed the blown one very

Many Thanks dylan,You seem to have been there done that with some success.A new arm is the real solution but hard to find! peter

If anyone one has a bulb (6v 30mA) or an old arm from a broken 1102 type 5715 I think a repair may be possible.I think I can get the belts from Martin Many Thanks Peter

Hi Martin, I think after looking at service manuals the 1102 type 5715-5711 is the closest.Its takes a MMC3000 therefore the face of the mount were the cartridge and mount marry up must be the same. I have stripped out the inside of the arm and it may be possible! If this is one of the arms you have and you can take a close up photo and send to me.I

Thanks Martin.I think the lamp could be sourced from a good electronic shop.would you agree? I'm searching for the arm or maybe a complete slide from a broken player.i think the cartridge holder may become brittle with time and then does not enjoy transit! I'll get back to you for the belts.I hope I get to that stage. Peter

Thanks.Maybe Martin will respond.I have not given up yet! Peter

I have bought a 4000 on e-bay in working order!However it got damaged in transit(I was warned)The problem is the cartridge holder/connections on the arm.I am trying to repair myself with a very good service manual.The arm (Part 2850052) is a push on fit to the arm holder.This arm was later modified but requires a replacement counterbalance weight.So
