This thread might give some pointers, although it's about the 1212 - https://www.hifivision.com/threads/hmv-stereo-1212-restoration.66682/

@skroderider thank you for the link. I went through the post it basically revolved around memories everybody has with their TTs.
Didn't get much help around repair options.

Our might help if I post a pic of my player.

I am certain I need a new tone arm. If that's what you call you which holds the needle.

Thank you

Please post some pics. It may help. I dont have any knowledge about any techs in gurugram . I have Mr Jha's no. who resides in ghaziabad. There are some techs in chandni chowk area but i dont have any first hand information.

Apart from the sentimental reasons, i would not advise you to put money in the 1010.

I am no expert, but my intention in sharing the link was to tell you that it's not a cost effective thing to restore that TT, unless you have sentimental reasons to do so and/or are a collector

To add to that, my dad used to have one of these, and it was one of the primary reasons I was exposed to many kinds of music at an early age. Unfortunately I don't have mine around any longer but I always remember it with fondness.

If you are in Singapore than get it from ngh/123 sold.in online. Search for hmv stylus.

Hai everyone, I am ready to repair any types of record players/turntables if almost all parts are there without damage or loss. Only the matter is that I am residing at Trivandrum in Kerala...
Thanks
