Basically it acts like the clamper magnet is much too strong. When the

quite a bit of extra "help".


Any chance a spacer is missing on the clamper or turntable? Years ago I
ran into something similar to this and I think a stick-on rubber disc
slipped off the turntable allowing the space between the clamper magnet
and the turntable to be reduced increasing the clamping force.



I looked for any missing or damaged felt spacer - no such luck. I'll have to
get back into it - what a time-waster. Maybe I'll get lucky.
