Kenwood cueing lever - wanted

[shlalaw]

I just bought a Kenwood KD-3070. In good shape, except the cueing lever is missing. I have looked around online, but no luck so far. Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks.

There is a guy who sells parts on ebay. I think he is located in Texas, You'll have to do a search on ebay as I can't seem to find the link I had for him. He does have a ton of parts for turntables.

I'm not sure if this is the guy you were thinking of, but he does sell parts.

I hate to suggest this but check the rod that the cue lever attaches to. I've seen a couple of tables where the rod was broken from a moderate whack to the cue lever. They don't just fall off.

Edit: Take a piece of coat hanger wire or something similar and stick it in the hole in the rod and see if everything works.

I happen to have a 3070 stowed away. I will check it out to see if it is a "parts table" or a user.

I've sent him a message, but have not heard back yet. Thanks.

The part that the lever fits into looks intact, and the mechanism itself works fine. A coat hanger fix will do in a pinch, but will look for original in the meantime. Thanks.

Thanks. BTW, I need to replace the stylus (cartridge looks fine). Any suggestions short of a second mortgage?

It is a HiTech by Signet Model H-Ten. Haven't been able to find much about this one online. Thanks.
