Denon 60L pivot point problem....

[art2music2]

I have a beautiful original Denon 60L i have front to back play in the arm and way to much play where the arm cylinder enters the plinth..Don't want to ship it off to iffy..Please any advice?

I don't think ive given enough information..this problem of front to back left to right "loose play" seems to come from inside where the tone arm cylinder enters the plinth..i have checked the VTA screws and the gimbal is tight PLEASE any thoughts...

If you are still looking, check around the base of the arm. I believe there are actually 3 screws, only one of which is the VTA adjustment. Check the others. With my DP-50L ( Japan domestic model, similar to the export 60L ) I needed to adjust one of these for no play.

If it doesn't help, take the back off the turntable ( unplug first ... ) and see if you can see what is loose. It is not complex under the arm attachement. The only unusual thing apart from the arm coming through the base, is the "paddle" attached to the arm cylinder which cuts the beam from the LED used to sense end-of-side. It should have no effect on any play. Worst case, your plinth near the arm may be worn or damaged. You would need to shim this with something to take up the play if so.
