Hello-I use a dry nail brush to activate the lubricant in the record after cleaning - if there is contaminate on the record, Spinning on my Micro power house turntable and holding the brush against the grooves while the record is spinning. If there is a vertical bump/warp I use my Pickering 190-D arm which will follow any warped record - and slowing it down to 33 1/3 then correcting speed in computer will greatly improve the tracking - Mickey -----Original Message----- From: 6295LARGE Sent: Friday, August 31, 2018 12:34 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [ARSCLIST] Can't get these vinyl 78s to play. Hi everyone, I have a the Victrola set M-127, Schonberg: Gurre-Lieder with Stokowski and Althaus. It's apparently a reissue because the records are all vinyl. I've blown them with a can of compressed air, but the stylus keeps jumping. I've tried different styli and cartridges and weights: For instance: Shure M44-7 with 2.8ET and 3.5FCR, *GE* VRII 2.5mil, Stanton 3.3ET in a Stanton 500 cartridge, *but the styli keep jumping grooves* - one at a time - once per rotation. I've even tried a Stanton 681 LP stylus. I've tried 3 different speeds, BUT IT ALWAYS JUMPS!! I thought the vinyls would sound better than shellac, and maybe they would if I weren't having THIS crazy problem. Any suggestions? PLEASE! Thank you. Ben Roth
