lol, okay, you want info: it is Pioneer PL-200 direct drive auto-return turntable. The part of the tone arm that broke is the part the goes through the counterweight to hold it on. It snapped off during shipping and the seller is not taking responsibility for the fact that it was their fault (they said i was SOL) because they did not remove it from the tone arm and package it seperately. And it is MY turntable, i'm just new to the them
