Cueing Lever Issue - Repairable or Replace?

Hi - I have a Music Hall MMF 7.3 turntable - only about 14 months old. When new and the tonearm was lowered, the cueing lever slowly dropped and stopped just shy of the plinth. Since that time, the lever now rests directly ON the plinth once lowered. This makes it somewhat difficult to grasp and has caused me to, at times, disturb the tonearm when attempting to raise the lever. Is this repairable or does the entire cueing mechanism need to be replaced?

 

Thanks!

Do you have the owners manual?

The owners manual is available on line. It states you got an Allen head wrench with the TT expressly for adjusting the cue. Read the manual.

Look carefully on the column that houses the piston that moves vertically to push up on the arm wand.  Be sure to inspect it from all aspects. The set screw(s) will be very tiny, usually. It’s hard to believe the cuing is not adjustable. Moreover your story suggests the set screw came loose which is why the cue no longer works properly. If all else fails consult the manufacturer.

Set screw is what I was describing but yeah. Can be 2 set screws, one for height and one for angle or fit viscosity

Most every cuing device I’ve ever seen is height adjustable. Look for set screws on yours usually they’re tiny and have an Allen head. Sounds like yours may have come loose.
