AS is obvious -there's only a certain amount of wire to work with so avoiding doing this again is a good idea.
SME TONEARM REPAIR SERIES
Own a couple of series 3's and have had to replace a couple of clips over the years.

I just don't expect miracles due to how hard it is to deal with it However, if anybody here can actually repair the tonearm wand, I would be willing to have it sent so I have a second working one.

I need advice as to the proper way to put the cartridge clips on cartridges with this arm and with removing them. I will not be using the Thorens until I get the replacement tonearm, and will pay off my savings in regards to buying this tonearm before doing any more online buying. Somehow I managed to get it back in place without breaking the white wire, so it's being left alone. Later on, the clip on the white wire came off. I've read that the tonearm wand is a pain to take apart and replace the wires on. This one appears to be the second variant, whereas the one originally on the turntable is the third variant (all black). (I was tired, which is no excuse.) I ended up having to go online and spend another several hundred dollars to get a replacement tonearm, which I will simply detach from the other tonearm assembly and put on the Thorens. I stupidly pulled on the black sleeve, and the wire broke. It happened late last night because I was in a rush to hook up my latest Stanton cartridge (981HZS), and ended up pulling the green connector off. I broke a tonearm cartridge clip on my SME 3009 Series III on the Thorens turntable I just got in the mail.
