| 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.
Link here: http://www.eifl.co.jp/index/export/export2.htm
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.. |

| Thanks Kevin,I'll do it tomorrow.However,the funny thing yesterday was that I saw "audiocraft AC3000MC''writen many times,but that was the only thing I could understand.So,I think I will have some luck soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
