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

If the auto lift or cueing bar is confirmed not hitting the tonearm, then check the anti-skating force and/or Vertical Tracking Force. Too much anti-skating force can make the tonearm want to jump back away from the center of the record. Is that what it is doing when it skips? Is the tonearm moving outward towards the outside of the record?
