Thanks for this very well done video. I purchased the Cardas copper wire tonearm rewire kit & your video I believe is the best. I'd also like to say people like yourself make it possible for me & others to have a go at these jobs & save some money as well. Thanks for spending time for other people's benefit. Victor O'Gorman.

Excellent video, very professional. I hope to rewire my S shaped Rega Plannar 3 arm. Do you have any contacts for wiring suppliers?

I ve seen the 250 and the 300 is a little more complex. Fantastic video ,fully explained and very well filmed especially the soldering of the cartridge tags. No one else has shown this procedure in action on the internet .It will help many people ..I have both Rega arms 300 and 250 both out of action at the moment with either cartridge tag snapped or wiring damaged . I was wondering about if it was possible to buy and replace arm bearings whilst the arm was disassembled ? Or is that a specialist job needed tools ..?

The harness is the Achille's heel of Rega tonearm, vintage and new. The wiring is poorly made and from very cheap materials, even the 'fancy' ones with pompous labelling like 'extra low capacitance' and the cable shows 190pF during testing against the 75pF of our wires. On the other hand the bearings, though not of stellar quality, are precise and very durable. We never serviced an RBxxx bearing, never ever. Remove the vertical bearings in the RB300 require a specially made extractor, while in the RB250 a 'simple' micro extractor that can be purchased in specialistic shops. If not damaged I wouldn't touch the bearings at all..... Cheers Mark

What about the rubber grommets? Do they not go back in

Very helpful. Once the arm tube is removed, is it possible to remove and replace the black plastic base? Unfortunately the one on my RB300 is cracked.

@TheAudioSanityChannel-ym7ij 5 месяцев назад

To remove the plastic base you have to remove the armtube and the yoke. To do so you, first, have to remove the brass but visible inside the main pillar after you removed all the wiring. This nut not only keeps in place the yoke/armtube compound, but it works as an adjustment nut for the tension and the vertical play of the two bearings responsible for the horizontal movement, proceed with care. Hope it helps Mark

Maybe in England still have the "Biliton" soldering wire 60/40 NOT THAT CRAP WITHOUT LEAD . Use it ! Otherwise there is some liquid flux in small bottles with a tiny brush. Cover the end of the wires BEFORE TRY TO TIN IT ! Good luck

@TheAudioSanityChannel-ym7ij 2 месяца назад

I don't use solder with silver instead of lead, that was, and is, designed to be used by plumbers to avoid water contamination and never was meant to be used for wire soldering, but the 'high-end' audio dealers sell it for a premium... That's the audio market today. Cheers Mark
