Stylus issues...

If it didn,t move, the bearings needed ajustment.
A 1/4 of a gram or something like that' can't remember.

Thanks! Just saw this, I'm going to try it when I get a minute and I'll update the thread when I do.

Thanks so much everyone!

With the arm zero'd out, while floating, a puff of breath made it move substantially.

I'm going back to the cantilever, any good track to see if it's 90 degrees ( i don't think the cart is, in fact it always looks like it's dipping slightly lower on one side ( inside, toward the center )

Not just substantially, it needs to move easily and smoothly all the way to the label area.

It did, and subsequently bounced back equally as smooth

OK, that's good, fixing bearings can be a... bear.
