Sounds to me like your decks are in need of a service.

I heard of this happening to someone's 1210's before on this page - it was driving them nuts. Turned out the tone arm needed adjusting and it was just a teeny weeny screw. It's probably not balanced right and will need lubrication, or perhaps tightening. Something to do with anti skating gone wrong.

Thats just my initial thought though, I might be way off - hopefully someone with a TT-02 will be able to say they've had your exact problem and what they did to fix it.

I think it's unlikely to be your vinyls, I've had damamged vinyl and it never behaves like you described.

Hope you get it sorted.

yeh it sounds like the weight of the arm needs some re-balancing work

or the stylus needles are a bit dodgy or something?

Thanks guys for all of the advice! I'm going to try to re-balance my tone-arm, and see if the screw on my tone-arm is too tight or too loose. I'll keep you guys posted on what happens.

Thanks again,

Mike
