I have a KD 550 turntable in which the tonearm cue was dropping too quickly. I obtained 100,000 oil & disassembled tonearm & separated the cue lift lever part (see photo). Cue lift parts looks good with no damage, and I did not make any adjustments to it. I cleaned inside with isopropyl alcohol, dried it, and put coated cylinder & bottom with fluid.
I believe this is the same lift that is used on the Grace 707 tonearm.
For some reason, I cannot get the cylinder to "rise" when I put the cue level to the "Up" position. I tried putting more fluid & less fluid but no luck.
ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT I AM DOING WRONG. THE LIFT WORKED FINE (dropping too quickly)
BEFORE I TOOK IT APART & THE LIFT IS NO DAMAGED.
I believe this is the same lift that is used on the Grace 707 tonearm, which I also have and will eventually need to be re-damped.
Not sure why this is happening. I just finished doing a AR XB tonearm lift & had no problem re-damping that lift.
