    I am guessing that the auto return does not engage early enough and it requires the tonearm/stylus to go too far into the center of the record. I have Realistic Lab-420, a full auto turntable. It has the similar opening at the base of the tonearm with a screw at the bottom with which you can adjust the cue-in and cue-out of the tone arm. However there are two screws hidden underneath the hole. One you see when the tonearm is at the arm rest which is for the cue-in. Another you see when the tone arm is close to the center of the platter which controls when/where the cue-out engages. Turning the screw clockwise or counter-clockwise changes where the needle drops or returns. It may have the same mechanism.

    Can you explain to me more about the issue with the Dual? I have a Dual CS 515 and the arm returns too soon. It will only play half of a 45 before it stops and returns. What causes that and how can you fix it?

      Has the popemstimple been replaced? That’s probably spelled wrong… but it’s the grip thing for the stem movement.

    Erm, what a confusing video! :) I didn't fully catch the first explanaition about the dropping in correct spot! Did you fix it ? Can you show us? And for the rest of the video, I'm also very confused! All that confusion!

      I’d recommend taking it to a pro. These are fairly complicated.

    There is no use trying to demonstrate this process without a stylus on the shell .

      @@ibrahimklc7561 do what!? You said “without a stylus on the shell”; you do realize a cartridge is what attaches to the headshell? Not sure you are qualified to leave comments…

      ​@@kappandrew1 Thank you for your kind reply. Let's be more precise. I mean "a stylus attached to the cartridge" and I mean how do you determine the exact return position without the "tip of the stylus" touching the disc? I think it must be tip that actually determines the exact return position.

    Would you by chance know where I could source a replacement motor for a Pioneer pl/15D-2 Turntable ? The outer copper windings are totally burned up and the spindle with the magnet inside the motor will not spin on its own. 😒

      Honestly, find a trashed one on ebay and buy it... you'll likely get a cartridge in the process. Often I find the individual parts are more expensive than just buying a parts unit. Ebay baby!
