David, and anyone else out there with similar stories. I'm working on an audiophile sculpture and need broken worthless parts. (I've done quite a few "music" theme paintings--but no sculptures) A tonearm is one of the things I need. If you still have it--can I have it. I don't care if it's snapped in half for what I am working on. If anyone has any interesting parts for this sculpture I would greatly appreciate it--and of course would pay any shipping. Please e-mail me if you have anything. I will send digital photographs of the final work to anyone that contributes. This work is for my own personal enjoyment--there is no monetary gain for me. Thanks Richard
what the _____
I noticed this poll question in the Stereophile site...Have you ever broken,wrecked etc a piece of audio gear? I will contribute the time I was mounting a Grado Sonata and my hand slipped tearing the tonearm wires out of the arm.My Grado went onto the floor where the "previous" cat slapped it around till I could get it away from her.The Grado was fine.Tone arm ruined.Luckily it was a cheap arm from my old Music Hall and Roy sent me a new one ($60)
