Tonearm Technics SL 1700

Too much tracking force or broken suspension? The SL-1700mk2 has adjustable tonearm height, not sure about the mk1. 

Sounds to me that the vtf could have changed drastically.
If a LOT more than it should be it will deflect the stylus enough to let the cartridge body actually touch the vinyl.
First thing I would check is your actual vtf before anything else.

Do not ask how I know........

😞😞😞😞

the cartridge it self has started rubbing the record

Is this your way of saying its not tracking?
