tone arm drifts towards the outside when lowering

Interesting that I have just, in the last month, begun to notice this behavior in my arm: an RB700 mounted on a Basis 2200 Sig. Both arrived new in May of this year and as I say, the drift is a recent development. It was set up for me by my local tech (who I trust implicitly, he's not new to this). I will check my table for level asap.

As dougdeacon points out perhaps this is just a feature of the Rega arm. But if that's the case, would it not have been that way from the outset?

FWIW, cart is a Dyna XV-1s.

On second thought, maybe not. I do *use* the arm :-)

But if there are any other thoughts/opinions, fire away!

Problem resolved --

I cleaned the lift -- it was dusty/dirty.

My mistake on the set up -- I had the anti skate set up prior to adjusting the VTF.

Those two simple changes did the trick.

Thanks again everyone.
