Arm resistance when playing halfway through records.
Hello.
I have a Philips Stella ST571A, it has a Garrard deck but the arm shows resistance when playing halfway across the record causing sticking. I tried tweaking the screws at the rear of the arm but it hasn't fixed the problem. Can someone advise what I can do to fix it? All advice will be appreciated. |

Re: Arm resistance when playing halfway through records.
I had the same problem with my "Conquest auto"
Try re-greasing the groove in the cam gear, It's what I was told to do for a BSR turntable and it worked for me. (if your deck isn't an auto-changer, then I can't help. Sorry) |

Re: Arm resistance when playing halfway through records.
You don't specify which Garrard deck, but a common problem is the arm which nudges the trip pawls getting a bit sticky or the pawls themselves likewise. Remove the platter and look at the mechanism under while moving the tonearm manually and you should be able to see it.
