Will be hard to find, the rubber damping for the old Ortofon tonearms will work here. Ortofon made this tonearm. One thing to know, this tonearm uses only EMT/ESL/Neumann mount headshells. Does not take Ortofon/SME/JIS type headshells.

I replaced it with some sort of red rubber tubing, probably the fuel line tubing you've heard about. Pretty sure it was something I got from a recommendation here. It was pretty simple -- cut a piece and shove it in on the tubing on either side.

It all comes down to clearance, the Ortofon and SME vintage arms I have worked on
have a metal rod that the rubber slides over then into both ends of the arm tubes.
For a successful mating you need to be able to insert both parts, tube and metal rod into the arm yet be tight enough to not rotate once in place.
Cooling the rubber/pin and or gently heating the tube prior to insertion and using a lubricant that will dissipate will be of help.

I have an ESL S2000 tone arm without a head shell. Followed the ESL price on Ebay, and not found one I felt was worth the money asked.
Is there a cost effective head shell that will fit these without modifying the arm?
