Guys - thanks for the help. I bought the 1200 used and just am now noticing some strangeness with playback. The cart just wasn't tracking well for the past few months so I finally started to look into things (i've had it for a year).
Long story short, I ran through a setup - protractor setup, cart alignment, azimuth, vtf, vta, anti-skate and got things back to somewhat normal. I still notice some slight distortion on my test records during the complicated pass. This is the test record i"m using:

Has some very slight problems with orcestral bell tracks.
