How can I fix my phonograph?
February 5th, 2010 by adminI have a phonograph that has been giving me trouble lately. Right now the turntable is working fine, but it’s the arm that is not setting the needle down on the record. Normally, I just push start and it will move the arm over and set the needle down at the first track. Now it moves over but not down. Any ideas on what’s wrong with it?
If you are lucky it is this simple. There should be a small cuing lever near the tonearm, it is what you would use to hold the arm up while you push the arm over to a certain song, then you would flip the lever to lower the arm.
Is the cue lever in the up position? it almost certainly has to be a problem with the cuing lever.
