Howdy all,
I have a nice example of this table and would like to bring it up to snuff.
When the tone arm was lowered the damping was in consistant. Sometimes it would lower properly and other times it might hover. So even when it contacted the records I couldn't be sure of the tracking force.
I found some info on AK about dissabling the damping system but am a little confused. I removed the nylon washer and what was left of the felt washer. If the tone arm assembly is screwed too far onto the shaft the shoulder of the pin that the washers sat on makes contact with the brass part and causes resistance so I backed it off slightly.
I read something about removing a pin but I'm not sure what that is. The pin that the washers were on goes in a slot in the brass part and seems to control horizontal play in the tone arm.
This table came with an unopened bottle of AR lubricant so I lubed the pivot points and the shaft.
There still seems to be some resistance when the arm is lowered. Any help?
Thanks,
John
