Empire 698 Turntable Electronic Cueing problem

When I play a record the arm lifts up automatically half way through playing record.

I would like to disable the electronic cueing mechanism and I would play turntable manually only.

How do I disable the electronic cueing mechanism ?

Thank you

Most beautiful turntable ever. I recall that there is an adjustment for the pickup setting and that it works. Mine has been in storage for a while so I have forgotten how to do it but I believe that it is explained in the manual on VinylEngine as nwres states.

It discusses how to adjust the lift point. Maybe worth reading if you do not already have it. I see two connectors that you could try pulling out one or both and see if that disables the auto. Good luck!
