Check that the carriage wire has been fitted correctly;
It has a small knot from factory, that needs to sit in a small cutout along the ridge across the cam wheel it has been fitted around.

There is a course adjustment via a quadrant on the main pulley. Can't send more detail but Dillen will know what I mean and be able to send instructions.

Adjust the 17cm set down first with the excentric then fine tune the 30cm set down with the quadrant on the pulley'

I no longer have access to the service manuals to enable me to be more specific!

 

Thank you all. The knot does appear to be in the correct place. The 17cm put down is similarly sliding off the record even at the extreme of adjustment. Perhaps if I remove and re-thread the cord it may have an effect- is this relatively straightforward? 

Has the tonearm been bent or is it off parallel to the sensorarm?
Does the carriage sit correctly on its rails?
