Panasonic SG-2070L
Does anybody have much experience of the turntables on these lovely old music centres?
I have had mine for many years with very, very few problems up until the other day when I went to use the turntable. When I try to lift the tonearm with the cueing lever it doesn`t lift high enough to clear the surface of the record (I found out the hard way!), but when the auto return mechanism is going through it`s paces it lifts the tonearm as it should, so I`m sure this is a problem with the lever mechanism itself. Just looking for any pointers/advice on this before I remove the deck and delve underneath. I`ve got a horrible feeling something has snapped or broken as this has happened suddenly, and not over a period of time. Many thanks all |

If it’s something broken then it should be obvious. It might just be sticky grease stopping the lift working.

Re: Panasonic SG-2070L
I'd start by checking the service manual for the deck, to see what parts are involved. A picture tells a thousand words!
