Hi All
I have been gifted an Audio Technica AT-LP5 in "as new" condition, with the exception of the J-shaped Tonearm that has a distinct downward bend in it (see photo).
Has anyone had a similar issue with a Tonearm and managed to correct (i.e. straighten ) it? If so, I'd be grateful for any pointers / tips.
Failing that, does anyone know where I can get spares and / or alternative compatible parts from, as I've drawn a blank with AT themselves?![AT-LP5 Bent Tonearm.jpg AT-LP5 Bent Tonearm.jpg](https://whathifi-data.community.forum/attachments/8/8059-96497bb6ab7481e0eb3f64b077aebbd2.jpg)
Thanks, in advance.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
