Linn LP12

Hello guys,

My LP12 has an SME3009 tonearm. Table is perfectly level yet when I lower the tonearm, it always wants to move outboard. I have to prevent it from moving outboard using fingers as tonearm is being lowered. Any idea what is causing this. Not 100% certain, but I believe that problem started after a cartridge change a while back. Table was not used for a couple years after cartridge change.

Thx,
sympaticonorm

I wiped the cue rest with alcohol and it is now much better but not quite perfect. Thx for your help

No anti-skate adjustment that I can find on the SME3009.

OK.. minor anti-skating adjustment did the trick. Thanks for all your help guys.

Oh boy is this thing singing now !! I did not realize what this turntable is capable of. I have had it for a while but hardly ever used it. Amazing what a few (tracking force, bias guide position and bias setting) small adjustments can do to this table.
