Despite my checking that the pickup arm is free to swing, and that it's wiring isn't fouling anything, and fitting a new stylus, the player is still prone to mistracking, where the stylus will either stick or jump (usually the former) at some random point anywhere during the playing of any stereo LP. IMHO, this is due to either friction in the mechanism - the speed/size selector is still stuck in the 12"/33rpm position- or to the, again IMHO, the poor way in which the M75 cartridge, is held in place in the PU Head - a simple clip, which barely grips the sides of the cart.-is used. The Shure M75 cart. and fixing clip are mnufacturer's original fitting, b.t.w. Garrard seemingly supplied the 6-300 decks to Dynatron, fitted with the M75 cartridge. N.B. - as I think I mentioned in an earlier post the tracking weight is set to 4g (measured with my trusty old Garrard SPG!), and the ant-skate is also set to th4 4g. click-stop position. Maybe reducing both to 3g would help?
