Tone arm sometimes sticks moving across the linear bar. Is there lube I should add.

To fix the tone arm sticking on the Sony PS-LX510 turntable, try the following steps:

1. Replace the Small Drive Motor Belt: The belt driving the tone arm mechanism may be old or worn out. Replace it with a belt of the same size and section (either square or circular).

2. Lubricate the Rod: Apply a dry lubricant to the rod the tone arm moves on. While doing this, move the tone arm back and forth several times. You may need to repeat this to ensure smooth movement. Avoid using WD-40, as it is not a lubricant and may damage rubber parts.

3. Check and Adjust the Sensor Mechanism: There is a small “L” shaped metal piece that crosses a laser light, triggering arm movement. Adjust the nearby "bowtie" screw in small (1/4) turns to calibrate the sensor. Too close or too far affects arm movement.

4. Inspect for Gummed Parts: Factory lubrication may have worn off, or components may be gummed up. Clean and relubricate as needed.

5. Use a Mirror to Observe Movement: Raise the turntable on blocks with the bottom cover removed and use a mirror to observe the mechanism while operating.

These steps should help restore proper tone arm function.
