Hi. I need a suitable replacement for the rubber like substance that is in contact with the arm on the arm lift. Mine is slipping and causing the arm to go down sideways. Many thanks
If you have trouble finding that, attaching a small pip (tiny mounting foot, etc.) on the lower side of the arm
will increase the pressure and reduce the lateral movement. Even tying a piece of fishing line around the arm tube
at the right point should give enough resistance by increasing the pressure.
Are you sure the tracking force is correct, or that the antiskate is not too much?

Don't fully understand the pip thing.
I took off some anti skate and it goes down better. But the setting I had was balanced left to right on a blank record. Will test on the blank record this setting. But in middle of a listening session 🙂

Try the fishing line then. Tie a loop around the arm so the line loop touches near the middle of the pad.
This should increase the pressure on the pad compared to the bare arm, and reduce the arm sliding outward.
By blank record, do you mean an LP with no grooves at all? If so, that isn't the right method.
The antiskating force could be set too high in that event.
