Hi, I have an Akai 400D-SS with broken tension arm, right side. I mean, the tension arm is there, but I can't feel the spring. What can I do? I was reading here somewhere, can't find it, someone who repaired one with this problem. If you could give me an advice would be great ! Thank you.

Dhnash, THANK YOU ! so much ! The only solution I found before this was a $300 arm from eBay :( not an option for me :(. I will read more, learn how to open, try epoxy maybe. But I read now on tapeheads that one guy makes those nylon pins and sells them for $125. At least he was in 2011. Anyone knows something more recent ? Thanks again
 
If you haven't already done so, you might want to become a member and post this question on the Tapeheads.net site. You could reference the threads I found and explain what part you are trying to find which I think was custom made out of Delrin plastic rod. There may be some folks there who are familiar with the GX-400D-SS that can help. Best of luck getting yours fixed!
