Clearaudio Satisfy lift sticking


The lift mechanism for my Clearaudio Satisfy tonearm isn't lowering properly. The weight of the arm doesn't push it down. It seems like there is some sort of hydraulic system in there which allows the rest to lower slowly. Should I lubricate the shaft of the lift below the arm rest, or is there another way I can get in there and fix it? I see some screws/allen screws, but am afraid to touch anything. Please advise.

I would suggest first trying to repeatedly lift-lower arm. Perhaps you aren't using the Table enough? Usually things don't gum up, where they get tighter, and more often, they start to fall, like a tone of bricks.

Perhaps try one very small drop of sewing machine Oil to the Shaft of the Arm Lift, and see if this helps first? Mark
