Hello Everyone,
I've posted here before for my tonearm height adjustment being stuck
and my cue lever not working at all.
After doing some reading and watching a couple of videos I decided to give it
a go and am currently waiting for the wd 40 to potentially work and help me separate
the height adjustment ring from the baseplate which is stuck pretty hard.

Now on to the cue lever question. I wasn't prepared for this I thought I would just leave it as is, as I can now cue
manually but I ll ask the question anyway. The lever seems to work because when i apply some pressure
with my finger when the lever is down the tonearm lowers and when i pull the lever up the tonearm is lifted but I am
not sure if it is lifted high enough. Also when I lower the lever when it is on the "high" position it does not drop at all.
I am attaching some pictures so you can see. I read that some high viscosity oil might fix this issue but I do not even know
where to apply it. If anyone can point out if it is an easy thing to do I will try it, otherwise I ll leave it as it is. Thanks for your time!
