Who rebuilds Dynavector Tonearms?

I recently bought a DV 501 tonearm, and it has some play in the horizontal bearing. I don't know how close this tolerance is supposed to be, no play, some play? If someone knows about these tonearms, I sure would appreciate some information. Info as to who rebuilds these would be appreciated, too.

Thanks, and Merry Christmas,
Dan

Jim Howard at Applied Fidelity in the US does excellent bearing adjustments:

I have no financial interest in this company.

Did you get my last e-mail by the way, never heard back from you on trying those tubes?

Oh Dan, sorry I was thinking of someone else.

I started Christmas morning with a bit of port. You know, if you drink wine in the morning you're a wino, but if you drink port you're simply being decadent.

Warmest regards for a merry Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year!

Islandman, I have a DV501 that is virtually NOS. It was given to me by a close friend who never used it and bought it new. I also own and regularly use a 505. To answer your question, what do you mean by "play". Where the bearing is located, there should be no play in the verical plane, but the whole assembly can move vertically, in the up direction a bit. But no twist or vertical motion at the actual site of the bearing, between the horizontally pivoted part of the arm and its support.
