Vestax pdx tonearm (Frankie, 13 Dec 2025 11:23:11) Reply | Show replies
Hi,
Is the tonearm avaiable for purchase in europe?

Re: Vestax pdx tonearm (Vestax ADMIN, 14 Dec 2025 23:37:00) Reply
Dear Frankie, unfortunately, we don't know of any store in Europe that offers this. But we shipping worldwide. This is probably the only option, or try Japanese e-bay (not ! European / UK / US) - sometimes the spare tone arm appears there - as a used part (mostly from an old, non-working turntable)... Several - very limited QTY of (fresh/new parts) tone arms - should arrive on our stock by the end of January 28th.

Does this come with the black plastic collar with the m3 x 0.5mm tapped holes that sits on the brass stem? If not where can I buy? The threaded holes on mine are stripped.

Availability ? (Julien, 31 May 2024 18:27:24) Reply | Show replies
Hello from France,
Would you be able to give me an estimation of the delay if I order this part?
Aside of this, if I would try to fix my arm myself (I guess I just need to change a wire), would you be willing to share a doc for helping me to disassemble all parts of the arm properly?
Thanks in advance

Hello. Providing a Vestax service manual for PDX turntables would not be a problem, we will provide it to you. Unfortunately, at the moment we cannot estimate the date when the part will be back in stock. These parts sold out very quickly and currently it is not possible to estimate when the new arms will be produced. It can take even more than half a year.

The part is ok for the pdx 3000 mix?

Re: Tone arm (Vestax ADMIN, 6 May 2020 13:59:24) Reply
No; this type is recommended only for PDX-3000MkII, QFO LE or PDX-2000 Series with orig. straight arm (because PDX-3000MIX has a different tone arm base).
