I just bought my first decks, and received them today - HAPPY DAYZ
Opening the box, I found one of the counterweights has broken off the tonearm
NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOO, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!!:whip: (Insert several thousand expletives here, luckily no one else was home)
I can't believe this, f*cking Australia Post has broken my new decks.
The decks are Numark TT1650, does anyone know if you can replace the tonearm?
Has this happened to anyone else? What did you do?
I am in dire need of help!!! |

| How do you mean broken? Were they not screwed off for transit? Or is it the bit which holds the counter weight? |

No, snapped.
The bit that the weight screws onto has snapped off the rest of the tonearm!! |

they are brand new..? get them replaced by the shop, they will be compensate by the carriers as it will be insured.
kick up enough of a fuss and they will sort it :) |

Thats the problem (I accidently left it out of my first post)
I bought them 2nd hand off ebay. I've already sent a pissed off email to the seller, I'm not gonna stop till this has been sorted out. I'm gonna rip everyone a new arsehole until i find who has ed up here, and until they fix it.
I will never again buy 2nd hand DJ stuff off ebay, and will warn everyone off it as well... This has been a massive up, and I don't need this right at the moment, i'm under enough stress as it is.
Hopefully I can just switch tonearms, or i may be able to improvise a repair |

the tonearms on a tt1650 are not replaceable, i once enquired as i used to have them and one of the tonearms got slightly bent when i was playing on them whilst ed..
either way, the seller SHOULD have sent it by insured delivery, so if it was damaged during transit, the seller should contact the carrier and arrange for them to supply him/her with the funds equal to the value of the goods (which he/she should have declared when sending it), and thus he should at least give you a refund.
chin up :) |

I understand you're livid about the situation and I would be too if I was in the same situation but I wouldn't go so far as swearing people off of e-bay. I routinely buy vinyl off of there that I can't find in stores or online and I know there is many on this board that have purchased most if not all of there set-up off of e-bay and have had no problems and got some pretty good deals on alot of it. E-bay can be a god send if you use it smartly as many people will attest to.
As far as the shipping damage, how well was the TT packed?? Also the seller did provide shipping insurance which you did take, correct?? If so then this will all work itself out. |
