Hello guys,
how I can disassemble this tonearm?
Can someone drive me easily step by step to disassemble it?
Which tools must I have to do that?
Many thanks in advance.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
That looks like a Syrinx tonearm you have there. Two of the bearings are decoupled and strip down is not that easy without the tools and the knowledge. j7 at AudioOrigami is the man you need to talk too. Audio Origami - Everything from custom-made Tone Arms, Arm Rewires, Turntable set-ups, Custom Speaker parts and High Quality Cables, Terminals and Special extra slippery Bearing Oils and Pure Damper Oils.
Thanks harwoodspark, I know that audio origami works well with Syrinx tomearms, but I would not to be insensitive to ask J7 directly. It his work, I do respect he, and probably he would have some reason to do not answer me.
Hi
I think J7 would be happy to work on one of these Syrinx arms (and he's shown at least one example of such remedial work on his website). It looks like one of the original models, maybe a PU2. Audio Origami's supremo was associated with the people making them (the company was led by Scott Strachan, IIRC), but it's the current PU7 arms that are all his own work, building on the earlier design.
Do get in touch with him, I'm sure he'll help. These tonearms are, by all accounts, a real challenge to DIY, and it would be a shame to ruin it.
I'm assuming, by the way, that the arm actually needs to be disassembled, perhaps because there is a problem. If so, the best thing would certainly be to treat it to an Audio Origami rebuild!

I got a Syrinx PU2 too, last week.
The internal wiring needs to be placed as it's completely gone. What to use best? Any suggestions?
- OFC copper
- Silver plated OFC copper
- Pure silver as from Audio Note?
Taking the arm apart was not difficult. Just press or pop through the axes top down, but vertical bearing first.
You now have the chance to put in new -the best you can find- bearings as the size is very standard and all-round available from RC controlled racing/toy shops. Boca has them too.
New rubbers can be fitted or use some sillicone.
Do not forget to clean out the bearing holes as (super)glue is used aside from press fit.
