Please help me I am in trouble with my new table..


Hello,

I have been waiting for my cartridge to arrive to set up my new Nottingham Spacedeck w/ Anna arm. This is the first time I have ever attempted to set up a table. I have been getting prepared for this for months. I had everything ready and just when I was almost done I broke a tonearm wire at the clip where it connects to the cart. I can't believe this. I was trying to be as gentle as possible having been warned they were fragile. I am beyond upset. Can someone please tell me how hard this is going to be to get fixed. Can I do it here? This is unbelievable. Please direct me to a thread or how I can get this figured out. I have been buying albums for the past 3 months and now I just feel like I am about to give up. Thanks and sorry for the complaining, just massively disappointed.

don't worry about it. I did the same thing on my well tempered classic and was freaking out also. I stripped the wire, dipped it in flux and soldered the new clip on. no big deal. took all of 2 minutes. If you decide to do it yourself, buy a decent soldering iron and flux (is the key). The solder coats the flux in about 2 seconds and you are done. cover it with some heat shrinking plastic, and good as new.
