41-608 phono question

I have a 41-608. And yes, Ron did restore this one (chassis wise), and yes it still plays just fine, thanks to him. Now my question is I have the original turntable, but of course the tone arm is long gone. I bet you guys saw the one on the big auction house go for $177 !!!!! recently. What was the common retrofit, as it would appear I will not be able to:
A: find one
B :afford the ridiculous prices I have seen for these
I had read about the fact the tonearm was not that reliable, and it was common in the late 40's to swap it out.
Thank you All
Mike

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
