Neumann PA2 # 23 restored by J.P. Van Vliet in The Netherlands 💫

 

Neumann PA2 # 023 update

In the fall of 2025 I finally found some time, parts and materials to restore the original tonearm from the Neumann PA2 # 023 from 1958. The original tonearm which came with the turntable was in poor technical - and cosmetic condition so it needed a full restoration including the reproduction of some (small) parts. The restoration of the tonearm was not simple but with an amazing result and is now reunited with the Neumann PA2 # 023 and together with a Neumann DST replica stereo MC cartridge the set is now exactly how as Neumann brought it into the market in 1958.
