rebuilding rega R200 tone arm

Unread post by TheOldGuy »

Hi All,

Has anyone rebuilt, rewired, added a new bias belt to a Rega R200 tone arm. I've come across a few sets of instructions which are confusing at best, I've not had a turntable for over 15 years and one of my retirement projects is to build a turntable kit. I'm using a rega planar3 and r200 tone arm as the basis. The tone arm needs a lot of TLC and it would be helpful if anyone had done this before and had some technical diagrams and a step by step guide.

many thanks

Richard aka TheOldGuy
