REGA Planar 3 Replacement Tonearm

[SeriouSamuel]

I have an old Rega Planar 3 with a tonearm that is beyond repair. I am looking for a budget replacement arm (oxymoron, I know). Any ideas?
I have a Pro-Ject Debut III I received for next to nothing. Is it possible to transplant that tonearm onto the Rega? How different is their geometry?

How so? There are many people who repairs the arms to a high standard.

You could get a Moth 202 for $299 from Brit Audio.

Look for a used Rega RB250 or RB300 Arm.

According to the tech the internal ground is nearly impossible to rewire inside the tonearm. I am looking for a budget replacement.

The Jelco SA-370H should drop right in with minimal mods.

Will the Moth MK1 work? I can get one for less than 200 shipped new.

It's right in my budget.
