Help with a tone arm problem

Posted by MylesJ on February 16, 2021 at 13:22:12:
I have a Kenwood 770D table with a tone arm made by Jelco for Kenwood. After changing headshells and VTA heights twice there is some resistance to horizontal movement of the arm, enough to cause the record to skip backwards after two revolutions. This arm is common on the later Kenwood DD tables. They have High Stability printed on the block with the jewel pivots.

I presume that a piece of grit found its way in between the vertical post and the shell it goes through. The only remedy I can think of is to de-solder the internal fine wiring and disassemble it to clean it. Any other ideas to try before I go that far?
