Help! My Magnepan tonearm finally needs to be rewired!


Hi gang,

I love this tonearm, but it has become quite noisy.  I believe it needs to be rewired.  Do any of you know of a business (or individual) who can do this for me?  I hate to give up the arm -- it's otherwise really good, and in good condition.

Thanks!!

This seems to be a bigger problem than I thought when I bought a Unitrac.  The rewire job can be done, but I'm not sure who.

I picked up this arm on Mosin's recommendation.  He's the guy who makes the Saskia table.  He has a couple of Unitracs rewired, but ....

There's an easy answer to this problem, but it requires drilling a small hole in the back of the armtube just in front of the pivot.  Have the wire exit there instead of the bottom of the pillar. You could have one length of wire going to the preamp or use connectors on the table plinth.

My original wire is still working fine, but it would be nice to eliminate the plug in connector at the back of the headshell.
