Hi AS,
Been awhile since we've conversed. I have slowly been going through this TT to try and see what all is there, what may be missing etc. I had a local plastics shop make a new dust cover since the original was cracked and they did a very nice job.
I've tried emailing Michell in England on several occasions. They finally replied to my 1st email saying "hey, we are real busy here" but offered no help. The other emails to them have been ignored, so basically they are saying F off.
Have you been in contact with other Prisma owners while going through your refurb? If so, kindly let me know their contact info. The tonearm on mine is puzzling and I've not found a thing on it to see how it is assembled. Apparently something is missing as the lower and upper main body of it aren't solidly joined together.
I've attached pictures of the arm and the last picture shows the separation from the upper/lower assembly. It really just flops around. Perhaps someone else has experience with this arm and can provide some guidance.
Thanks much,
Dennis
