Problem with my Triplanar


The other day I went to use my table, after NOT making any changes or adjustments to the arm.

I discovered that when I cue the arm to listen to any of the last few songs on a record, as the arm begins to drop towards the record, it drifts about 1/2" - 1" towards the outside of the record. Also, there is very audible mistracking as the needle moves towards the inside grooves of the record (last 1 - 3 songs).

This has never occured before. I even tried completely disengaging the anti-skate, but this made no difference.

I put in a call to Tri, but I am hoping that someone may know how to fix this in the meantime.

In addition to Mosin's suggestion, check the dressing of the arm wire as it exits the rear of the armtube and winds around to the shield ground screw on the baseplate. Make sure the wire has enough free play and isn't hanging up on anything as you gently swing the arm in and out.
Yeah, what they said. AS would be pulling inwards. It sure sounds like something got bumped. Maybe time to start from the beginning and double check all of the alignment parameters.
On my Tri-Planar A/S pulled outwards. Yours might be different. ;-)

... though never with enough force to cause this.
