First time poster long time lurker. Great to see these forums up and running for those that need to know! :)
I recently restored, to an extent, a TX-2. I cleaned as much dust out, replaced the belts and lubed as required. I did not tinker with much else so nothing was tampered with. All was going well until I buttoned her up and played the first album. There is a noise like a dragging needle drop/lift as the tonearm drops and raises. The noise is actually heard via the speakers. There isn't contact of the styli to the record when it's heard. It's actually during the movement of the arm. I am starting to dig into this to determine if there is a physical pinch point. I'm wondering if it's a failure in the electronic circuit as power is applied to the arms mechanism. Has anyone experienced this before?
Thanks!
