Technics SL-1200 MKII Bearing Problem


I think I have a problem with the bearings on a Technics table I just bought used. The tonearm doesn't swing fluidly. It has a tendency to pull back to a position a little to the left of the arm rest.

The anti-skate seems to be ok. Any thoughts? Is it hard to replace the tonearm?

Mine did the same. I don't think you have a bearing problem. I believe the tension of the cables is what pulls the arm back. But...I'm NOT positive.
