Denon DP-59L skips at end of record

I recently bought a DP-59L from the original owner. It has been sitting unused for 20 years. I installed a cartridge and am having a problem with skipping at the end of a record. It plays properly until the last few minutes. I have read on line that it may be an issue with the auto lift mechanism but am not sure how to repair this. Has anyone experienced this on this turntable or similar units?

Thanks,

Mike

I just picked up a mint DP60L doing the exact same thing... My Antiskate is definitely off, even at 0, it pulls a back force of near 2g... I won't have a chance to check it out for a couple of weeks. If you don't have answers when I do, I will respond... I feel like someone tried to service this and over tightened the bearing. I'm going to loosen the bearing, lube it and appropriately retighten, check out the auto lift, adjust anything I can and try it again.
Good Luck, Tim
