Turntable help

Good morning fellow music/equipment lovers! Dilemna: arm lock feature operates as should without arm in place. That is, it slides over to full lock position. However, when I return the arm to resting position, the arm latch doesn't full go over the arm to completely lock. More like half position. I even gently pushed down on the arm in hopes it would clear it and lock, but no avail. Any solutions?

Update: arm is in down position when attempting to lock. Im going to upgrade my catridge next week. Sounds look a quick fix for my local hifi tech.

How can someone with over 2000 posts not state the model in their post?

Dear Phasecorrect,
Upgrading your cartridge is always a fun thing to do, but I don't see how it addresses the issue that you originally raised.  Perhaps you have something in mind that you haven't mentioned here.

Lewm -- I read it to mean he's changing his cartridge as a completely separate issue, and while there, he'll ask his tech about the locking problem.   Not that he expects the cartridge change to solve the problem. But I could be wrong......

Now that my original hypothesis does not seem to be correct, I would opt for what someone else already wrote: The position in the vertical dimension of the cue-ing lever just needs to be re-adjusted. No biggie.
