Give it a gentle finger-dab on top of the cartridge and it will fall down to normal position and play fine.</p><p>This applies to the original cartridges, presumably&nbsp;because of age.&nbsp;If this is what you experience, you need a new cartridge.</p><p>The service manual (and user manual) is available for download for silver and gold members.

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&nbsp;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.</p><p>&nbsp;Does this problem sound familiar? Any suggestions on how to fix? </p><p>Thanks</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
