Rega Planar 2 Refurb

I'm currently in the process of refurbishing a Rega Planar 2 that I rescued from an attic.

The dustcover and plinth were covered in acrylic paint, which I have carefully removed and restored the dustcover with plastic polish.
I have a RP1 Performance Pack to replace the belt, cartridge and mat; and a bearing upgrade kit.

I have a couple of questions:

1. Has anyone tried/succeeded or have any advice on rewiring the RB250 arm?
2. I'm looking for the decal that should adorn the top of the dust cover, the one I'm refurbishing is missing, if anyone has a broken dustcover with a decal I'd be interested?

The Rega-refurb list of companies seem to grow by the year - so scour the web to find the one that fits your budget

I initially had the Cardas tonearm upgrade applied to my arm and it was a significant upgrade.

After a few years i decided to completely rebuild the TT, which now only has the power switch and dustcover left over from original components.

The arm I replaced with a Series 3 (classic) tonearm from Audiomods, which is just amazing and uses a Rega Arm Tube - highly modified.

They also do arm upgrade kits and a one piece harness

So it really depends on how far you want to take the upgrades
