Electrohome 701 C

[AJKCanuck]

Hi Everyone,

I recently aquired a near perfect Electrohome Circa 75 701 C.
I was wondering if any one had a copy of the owners manual or could provide specific details for the unit.

The only fault I do have is the housing that attaches the needle to the arm appears to be cracked (excuse the improper terms). Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Regards

Do you have pics of the damage? It appears to be a Dual TT.

This may help:

Here is a photo ... I do have the head shell.

That's a Dual I believe.

Yah -- Dual 1015.

Just trying to figure out if I can fix it without having to find bits and pieces from a donor arm.

By the time the dust settles, I would wonder if it would just be easy/quicker to find another 1015, or if the console is a definite keeper, upgrade to a 1019.

That wouldn't be a bad idea ... I want to try and keep the unit as 'original' as possible; I'm unsure if it was available with the 1019 from the factory.

Think it would be ok to use a donor arm for the parts?

Cheers,

Only thing that would hold them back from a 1019 would either be cost or not available when the console was made. Other than those 2 reasons, why wouldnt one be using the superior tt especially if it sits in the same cutout?
If you can find a donor arm, that would be best case I think. You may be able to glue everything back together, but its a part that gets fiddled with from time to time, I wouldnt want to bet a repair there could withstand many cart sled lockings and unlockings.
