Hi;

I am trying to diagnose and repair a problem with my RX2 5833 turntable. When the stylus lands in the groove, there is bass distortion. If I cue the arm up and down for several times, the arm will eventually seat properly and the stylus will play the record perfectly with no distortion. I think I see what the problem is, but I will have to get a service manual before I attempt to take it apart. I think that the arm cuing mechanism is not releasing the arm completely unless I happen to catch it after several tries.

 Does this problem sound familiar? Any suggestions on how to fix?
