RE: Turntable signal drop out

If I remember correctly I thought the problem might require a tonearm rewire with a new set of spring loaded pins so I just went for the risky and pulled on it with a slender nose pair of needle nose pliers.
The initial problem was that pushing the pin didn't free it up but since being pulled out, if it sticks again it will snap back out when pushed with a Qtip. Probably just got lucky with that.
With a good narrow beam of light shining into the area it was obvious that one pin was not out as far as the other three.
I also went in with Qtips and Deoxit to clean all the pin ends in the arm and the pins on the back of the head shell.
If all the pins look to be out the same distance I wouldn't try what I did with the needle nose but cleaning shouldn't hurt.
