I love mine.
a few things to check:
- make sure the tonearm cable is clipped to the plinth to avoid any foul play with the suspension
- make sure the belt is siting nicely on the belly of the pully to avoid any drag. That is done by a clever combination of tightening and loosening bolts around the motor.
- don't over do the suspension as the plastic grommet are hard to find nowadays
- when you have time, think about fitting an Armageddon clone PSU to it!
Mine is fitted with a Jelco 750D and a Goldring 2200 MM, and it is wonderful!
