sheltie dave Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I picked up a Fairchild 412 Basic turntable from 1957, and the Ortofon SPU headshell that is installed is missing the fingerlift and two screws. Does anyone know a source other than Ortofon for this little jewel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie dave Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 This is the missing fingerlift.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike stehr Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 As a last resort you could build one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie dave Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 I'm starting down that path, Mike. The arc duplicates the pattern set by the headshell, so it isn't too difficult to cut and bend. I just need to get the right thickness, and then blunt bevel rasp the edges so it doesn't do a nasty little metal cut number on the old finger.
