BSR UA8 deck. Arm not lifting high enough on auto return. - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

I have recently purchased a record player with a BSR UA8 deck and the mechanism has all been cleaned and lubricated however at the end of a record the arm isn't lifting itself high enough from the record to avoid dragging the needle slightly. Is there an adjustment for this?

thank you

Yes, there's a height adjustment screw under the rear of the tone arm. It's a quick and simple fix. Just lift the arm up and you will see it.
