ninohernes Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 I bought an AR-XB turntable, and it got damaged durring shipping. The left channel dosent work. I checked all of the connections inside with my multimeter, and they are fine. The bad connection is inside the tonearm, but I dont know how to get inside it to fix the connection. The bad connection is not in the headshell, but in the tonearm, where it meets the headshell. Is there anyone here who can fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My XA is here and looking at the tonearm I would assume that you would have to remove unsolder the wires to the terminals for the RCA connectors then attach a string to the wire ends (so that you will be able to repull the wires thru the tonearm) and gently pull the wires out of the arm at the cartrige end until you find the problem. This is an unusual problem. Are you sure that the cartrige is good? I'm sure you tried switching the RCA L&R connections to the preamp? The XB may be different and if you need, I will bring it to the shop and give you exact details if someone else here does not have any suggestions. Dale in Reno.....

Guest dogmeninreno Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Here is a link to the XB owners manual if you need it? Dale http://www.arsound.com/public_html/data/arturntable.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninohernes Posted March 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 I have the original manual, also I found someone who can fix it. It will be tough he says, because the only way to access the other end of the tonearm is to remove the plastic end, which is glued in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a little delicate but can be done. Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dogmeninreno Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Might be worth checking this auction on eBay for the parts?? Dale item # 3085901105 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninohernes Posted March 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 I sent the table to Joel, at the Turntable Factory http://www.theturntablefactory.com/. He assured me that he could fix it, as long as he can get the plastic end off without damaging it. It is glued in, and takes some carefull work to remove, once he gets it removed, he is going to install premuim tonearm interconnect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
