Hello everybody,
I need some help. When I start playing a record, the tonearm moves to the correct drop-down position and the stylus lowers to the record correctly. It starts playing, the tonearm following the groove, but the laser guide arm stays put in the initial position. Basically, the two arms are trying to separate. Eventually, the tonearm starts backtracking as it is unable to move forward. The laser arm seems to be locked solid. When the turntable is not turning and the arms are in the extreme right rest position, they could be moved manually together to the left without any resistance. Does anybody know what the problem is and how to resolve it?
