RE: AR AX T.T.

The AR table had a damping device built into the arm so if dropped it would go down slowly to minimize stylus damage. This was often the cause of the AR arm problems. Record warps could be enough to engage the damping and the stylus would lift out of the groove on the back of the warp. There is a small pin on the side of the arm around the pivots. Pull it out with a needle nose pliers and the damping is disabled and the problem solved. Just be careful when cuing.

A potential second problem could be the user adjustable vertical pivots. If set too tightly they can bind.

I used an AR table many decades ago with this mod and with a low compliance Decca 4RC and high compliance ADC Point 4E and ADC XLM with no problems.
