Sansui sr-838/636 tone arm rest help

[kchubb]

Sansui gurus, I have a sr-838 with a broken tone arm holder/rest. It's broken right at the base of the tone arm assembly. I'm finding it next to impossible to find the part, does anybody on the forum have spare parts for these tables?
The other option I have is to measure the part and have it 3d printed, unfortunately the part I need to measure is missing....I would be extremely grateful if someone could please measure the arm rest assembly so I could draft it into the 3d printer file.

On another note, any recommendations for scratches in the piano black finish?

Thanks

for the scratches, you can polish/buff the complete housing using a car polish porduct and some hand work. First try it on a small surface at the backside or underside of possible. Remove other parts as much as possible.

Tried them already, that was one of the first places I checked. Google searched every corner I could think of. Spoke with the 3d printing company in town and they can re create it, just need measurements, if I had the broken piece or would be simple, I could guess but prefer to be as close to original as possible. Thanks.

Thanks, will try that first. Found another recommendation to use meguires plastx plastic polish, as the finish is apparently wrapped plastic instead of paint. Will try and get some before and after pics.

I know I have seen the part you are looking for , but can't remember where. Try also ebay, yahoo.japan. I'll keep an eye for you.

I've never seen 838/929 parts being 'parted out'.

Except headshells.
