If you're lowering the lever all at once, try just lowering it past its vertical position and then letting it fall on its own. Rega recommends this, and it should work unless your arm has a defective cueing mechanism (which can be replaced if needed). Good listening!
Have you ever had this problem with a Rega P-25?
My "NEW" P-25 has a problem with the arm lift assembly. Was curious if anyone has had a problem simular to this? The actuator that raise and lowers the bar for the arm doesn't lower on it's own. When I use the lever the actuator raises the bar but when the lever is lowered the bar stays up. If I put downward pressure on the bar it lowers and the actuator collapses like it should. I'm baffled and looking for some help. Any ideas????
