RE: Didn't we just go through this on July 27th?

As Opus 33 1/3 indicated last time around, skipping towards the end of a disc is nearly always caused by the arm lift platform not being fully disengaged from the underside of the arm as the latter traverses the disc. This has two causes:

1. The OP has a wedge shaped arm (e.g. SME ) and the arm lift is set slightly too high so as the arm traverses the disc the lift platform gets closer and closer to the underside of the arm ( or rather, the arm gets closer and closer to the lift platform) until they contact causing a skip.

2. The arm lift platform is not horizontal being higher to the left side ( looking from the front). The left edge is only under the arm towards the end of the side and if not adjusted can make contact. If the OP cannot alter the platform itself then he should see whether just lowering the lifting mechanism by 1mm or so ensures that it is disengaged throughout after lowering yet he still gets enough clearance for cueing.
