Mapleknoll Questions/ Trouble shooting


Hello,

I am trying to help a friend set up his Mapleknoll after being in storage for several years. After new oil in the pump, new hose and ensuring the plenums are air tight, there are still a couple of annoying problems:

* The arm will not cue accuratley it tends to drift to the center of the record well dropping

* the arm hangs up part way through the record.

The table is absolutely level , the paddle is not bottoming out, the wires are not hanging up & the arm moves freely when cued up in the horizontal plane (or at least appears to)

What are some good next steps to look at next. The manual does not seem to help much. Thanks in advance.

This is exactly what I meant, they are a full time job; yours if you choose to accept it as they use to say on MISSION IMPOSSIBLE.
Give up. A friend of mine who designs and builds electronics from scratch has one and I don't think he has set it up in years. When he had it set up it took all his talent, which is considerable, just to keep it running. When it is running it is a great turntable, unfortunately that is not often.
