Ultracraft/Audiocraft 3000MC armstems

Panicos K · 5th February 2007, 08:50 PM

I'm looking for one or more black arm stems(straight type) for Ultracraft/Audiocraft AC3000MC tonearm.Can anyone help?

They must be right when they say these arms are very rare to find.

They are quite rare, I had one of these arms up until a few years ago.
Try Audiogon which I think is unlikely. You might find one through EIFL in Japan. (Write to Koji) I can't think of anywhere else you might possibly find one of these.

but haven't made, or supported, their tonearms since 2002

You *can't* order the tonearm tubes new; AudioCraft don't have 'em

gypsielectro,thank you for your post.Is there any way to contact them and see what they do now,or,do you know if I can find any secondhand parts anywhere in Japan maybe?

Hi Panicos K,
That's why I suggested you contact Koji over at EIFL, he speaks good English, and may be able to help you find a good used arm - if not he might be able to at least guide you in the right direction.

Click the link to Inquiry form (English) on the home page. EIFL sells all sorts of new and used components, books, etc..

Thank you kevin,I have sent them e-mail,I hope they find something.I checked their page the first time you told me but didn't send e-mail because I didn't see anything about audiocraft.Now I did,I hope I'm lucky.Thanks again.

your best bet will be searching the Yahoo Japan Auction

http://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/

Put "audiocraft" in the search parameter

Already talked to Audiocraft and they neither have stock, Parts, support, or service for any AC tonearm; Used will be the only way to fly

Hi Panicos K,
If you are using firefox, just install the Foxlingo extension and it will do a somewhat passable job translating Japanese websites into English..
