Pro-ject 6.1/6.9 arm

Hi everyone,

I have what I hope is a simple straight forward question.

I have the 6.1 variety. Is it relatively easy to replace the original tonearm with a rega rb tonearm?

Thanks!!

Harder than it looks. The Pro-ject mount looks similar on the outside but is actually a Linn type fit. As such to change it you need to change the armboard which is normally part of the original chassis on Pro-ject decks.

As a wild suggestion you could try fitting a Linn Akito which is liked a chunky overbuilt RB300. Used ones crop up from about £150.
