My record player is "skating" lately, that means the needle travels across of the vinyl. As far as I can tell I can't adjust balance or weight on this player. I used a spirit level to check the cabinet and it's fairly level. I might get a new cartridge and see how that works.

It's kinda fun solving these little problems and learning about the whole audiophile interest.🙂

Old enough to have bought singles on 45 here: try coins on the back of the head for weight
