Hi. When the tonearm is placed on the groove at the beginning of a record it feels like the stylus doesn't want to follow the groove, it actually feels like it's physically trying to move back towards the rest position if that makes sense?

Right. Some development to report. I had a look at the anti skate mechanism and the long spring looked to be stuck behind a small metal pin, it didn't look quite right so I re routed the spring so it wasn't stretched behind the pin and that seems to have cured it. Only problem now is the sound isn't too great but I suspect it's the wrong stylus that's been fitted. Could someone point me in the right direction as to what stylus would be best, or indeed if there might be any benefit in installing a different cartridge. As you have probably already gathered I am very much a novice but I'm only too willing to take advice from all you knowledgeable folk. Thanks in advance
Paul
