Tonearm ...... Acos Lustre GST-801 ..... Yea/Nay

Acos Lustre GST-801, claim to fame is magnetic stylus force and magnetic anti-skate.

Hopping about, getting ready to pick the rear arm of 2 arm deck. Use for existing Shure 97xe and V15VxMR, both with their dynamic stabilizer brush, and AT440ml (no brush), and NEW Mono Cartridge.

Would you like to try this ? 
Technics SP-20, absolutely beautiful, look at this. 
Just like SP10mkII, but in black, simplified version from 1976 with built-in power supply.

I received and installed the 801 tonearm. All is terrific,

EXCEPT, the tonearm lifter is not working.

Nothing moves up when raising the lever. I know how to loosen the set screw to raise/lower the cylinder, but center post does not move.

Any ideas? 

thanks, Elliott
