Need help with damaged part on Beogram 5000 (Model 5804)

Hi Everyone, I'm new the the forum. I'm trying to surprise my Dad by getting his record player up and running. He purchased it new in 1984 but it got damaged during a move over 15 years ago. The part that I need is the piece that holds the arm to the turntable. Attached is a photo. I would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!

 

Model 5804

Serial Number 2830033

I'm pretty sure you'll need the whole tonearm assembly. I did a tonearm assembly transplant this summer on a BG 5000 that was damaged during shipping.

I had fun and did it for the learning experience and to save a Beogram but it was on a pretty rough table. Doable, but by the time you find a complete assembly for sale that you trust hasn't had the thin wires broken and the work to install it, and have it done right you're probably way better off buying a different working Beogram 5000.

They are great tables.

Also, welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the info and the welcome!
