In Reply to: RE: Help with a tone arm problem posted by PAR on February 16, 2021 at 14:44:26
PAR - I put on a different headshell that sat too low. I had to raise VTA to the maximum to clear the record. It wasn't high enough to sound good so I put back the other headshell and dropped the adjuster to the height it was before I made the change. I think I may have raised it too high which caused the problem.
Some of those arms have a manual lever for raising the arm and some have a sensor like the 770D that kills the power to the magnet that pushes up on the lift bar from under the plinth. It is spring loaded in the up position. You can't lower the tone arm if the power is not on. That raise/lower function still works properly.

So I understand from this that the problem was a physically incompatible headshell and therefore assume that the issue has now been fixed.

PAR - no, the horizontal resistance still happens with the original head shell. Not much horizontal resistance to moving the arm manually but enough that the arm cannot move it before it skips backward.
