I believe the problem is with the anti-skate. On the RB 300 a magnet is used for this purpose, amd I have seen many Regas have this problem. Most people believe it's the rewiring job, but it's the magnet in the post of the arm and in the slide where the anti-skate button is.
RB300 binding in horizontal movement
I've had my used Planar 3 for a few years now with a tweaked RB300. It was rewired with the incognito wiring kit and the expressimo counter weight and stub. About a month ago the tonearm started to bind during it's horizontal movement. It's as if the anti-skate has been set to 1 pound. If I move the tonearm about half way across the platter I hear a slight click and feel the binding give way. After that all works well and there is no resistance (other than the anti-skate setting) at all. The next day, it all starts over. I haven't done anything to the tonearm and it just started without any warning. Any ideas what is causing this and more importantly, any solutions to this problem?
Thanks.
Thanks.
