so i bought a third turntable, i bought a used m3d to match my other 2 that i bought new a few years ago. however, the lever that lifts the tone-arm on the used one barely raises it at all. i have the tonarm at the same height and the difference is very substantial. i guess this has happened over time as people have tried to raise the tonearm while it is still locked. is there anyway to adjust this so that the lever works as well as my others? thanks guys.

theres a screw at the base of the arm that raises the tonearm. just push it down, unscrew it alittle and it will be higher when you raise the lever

thanks alot jade, that was a whole lot easier than i thought it would be. for the record, the screw in question in on the curved black piece that actually pushes up on the tonearm when you raise the lever. i gave it a few twists counter-clockwise and sure enough, my lift lever now works like new.
