Been busy and I have had no time to listen to tunes or do much anything but work and baseball. Had some time the other day to listen to my rc88/4 and found I have some what I would describe as a thumping sound. I cleaned the contacts on the headshell as I had that problem once before. No dice this time and I have a deeper issue. I am going to pull it out of the cabinet and before I dig in I was hoping someone might have some ideas as to what it is going on. This untit has never wanted to cycle in auto mide but worked if I had it in manual and moved the tone arm myself. In doing this you have to wait a few seconds for the platter to spin and the tonearm to have no pressure on it. I assume the idlet wheel is the issue and maybe needing a good fresh lube where needed. Gonna get this out and get some pictures here directly. Any advice or what to look for is greatly appreciated! Scored about 15 lp's today. The Who the kids are alright and some Sabbath we sold our souls are just screaming for a play! Thx fellas! Ryan
