Groovers
I'm sending my Akiva off for a rebuild, need to get it off the headshell but the dealer didn't include the hex / Allen key with the cartridge - anyone know what size it is?
TIA

I believe all socket head cartridge screws use 2 mm allen keys (the thread is 2.5mm but 2 mm is the size of the hex head).

Make sure you remove the arm from the deck first, there is a risk you could damage the bearings.
