Hi guys! Happy Sunday to you all! Quick question about my Tech 12 M3D...
When I'm manipulating the vinyl back and forth (also called scratching hehe) the tonearm is not still. It wiggles side to side depending on the direction I'm moving the record. It doesn't skip, even with real vinyl, but I can really see the tonearm moving. It goes like...I push forward, it goes in...I pull backward, it goes out. It's not loose, its just a quick budge inward or outward in relation to how I move the record. Hopefully I'm describing this clearly. If not, I can post a vid.
Is this normal? I don't want to buy another tonearm if I don't have to. I searched around for how to adjust the bearings, but I kinda don't wanna open that can of worms. Thanks for any help.
