Linn LP12

Hello guys,

My LP12 has an SME3009 tonearm. Table is perfectly level yet when I lower the tonearm, it always wants to move outboard. I have to prevent it from moving outboard using fingers as tonearm is being lowered. Any idea what is causing this. Not 100% certain, but I believe that problem started after a cartridge change a while back. Table was not used for a couple years after cartridge change.

Thx,

Also, make sure there is nothing oily or slippery on the cue rest.

I wiped the cue rest with alcohol and it is now much better but not quite perfect. Thx for your help

If it pulled outward at all that means there is too much anti-skate. Back it off a bit and it will sound better.

My quess is that those demned springs are the cause. I remember that each time I approached the lift my heart sink
and I already had heart trouble. So I bought some other TT.
No heart problems since.
