Hi,

I think I've found it...

It appears that the cross is slightly in contact with the body can, so a suspension failure is my guess The stylus, however, is good.

Normally, the cross should not be in contact with anything, should it?  It should therefore be isolated from the body.

Ah Jacques whilst stricly true you have to bear in mind that the cantilever (I assume) is not under weight, so there will be a little bias to the bottom two cross points, perhaps even to the point of near contact. So is it the bottom ones and how much difference there between the ends of the two crosses(sp?)?

Did that make sense caus the whiskey is assisting me right now and it makes perfect senser to me...

Hi,

In spite of the whiskey it makes sense indeed!

But since the thing can't be taken apart, I won't investigate any further. Whatever weight I use, the noise remains. 

I have just sent an email to Axel  about this problem.

Cheers! 

Yes I guess he will be able to test the thing properly before working on it.
