Watch as this is released, and you will see where the sluggishness comes from, either the damper side or most likely the small L (it has another bend but I do not know of a charactor to portray its shape but you should find it easier enough!) shaped lever that lifts the tone arm in place. If it is slightly stiff it will seem to follow the damper after a short delay or or slower. A drop of oil in the levers pivot point (tucked under the sensor arm on left) should sort it out if this is the problem! Otherwise you may have to remove as with other examples but only as a last resort!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/326007.aspxFri, 27 May 2011 09:34:55 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:326007HarryPierce0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/326007.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=326007<p>Playing with my now working 4004, I started wondering how the arm is supposed to lift exactly when pressing &quot;stop&quot; or &quot;&lt;&quot; / &quot;&gt;&quot;. Right now, when pressing one of these buttons, it seems the arm starts lifting at the same time as the lateral movement begins. This results in a ~45 degree &quot;take off&quot; angle of the needle. I was wondering if there should be a delay between the lifting process and the start of the lateral movement (I did not yet exchange all capacitors, i.e. there still may be some issues with delays etc...)? Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!</p> <p>Rudy</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
