    Beogram 5000 - Anyone have a tonearm assembly for sale?

    I recently received bad news form the Soundsmith that a lifting component within the tonearm assembly of my 5000 could not be repaired.  They suggested possibly replacing it (they didn't want to tackle that) or cannibalize a unit or two and re-build around a functioning tonearm assembly.  Any thoughts on a better option?  This unit was sold as NOS off ebay, cosmetically flawless - would really like to repair it.  Thanks in advance for suggestions/guidance!

    So they want to remove the whole arm assembly? I would think the RX Lee talks about should be fine I am not aware of anything technically different between any of these decks apart from data link etc..

    Thanks Lee, Olly for the feedback, sorry for the tardy response.  I am awaiting return of the unit from the Soundsmith so I can crack the cover myself and guage the situation.  I will, at that time, be able to take some pictures and provide addtional information.  I had good success recently repairing a Beogram 8000 so this hopefully will be managable!  The shipping of these darn things can wreak havoc.  I'll reach back out shortly - Lee, if it seems like a workable solution (RX2 parts), I would like to talk more about your offer!  Thanks again guys.
