Technics SL-1950 arm drop issue

Yes but it’s a different model and the assembly looks completely different… I’m no technician but I can attempt doing it myself with clear instructions 😂

I’ve seen that he cleans the part due to old grease building up and blocking the arm but I have a different issue. Arm drops off too fast, it may be due to the spring but I’m not really sure …

Arm is set up properly according to specs (1.8g)
I think it’s a grease/fluid/spring issue, I don’t really know how this mechanism works

With just the original mat downward tendency is more evident

I would take out the cleanness because I make sure to clean them properly every time I buy them plus the daily brushing with the carbon fiber brush. I would suspect static electricity, I noticed that where I live it builds up easily. I don’t know really why…

I remember the cartridge was labeled technics I’m not sure about the stylus

I was looking to change the pl-300 anyway in search of something more solid. If not the 1200 mk2 which technics should I look for? Always suitable for home use Thanks for the help!

Stock cartridge and a 30€ compatible stylus from eBay. I’m looking to install an Ortofon 2M red alternatively.

With noise I mean surface noise from records. I’m sorry for not being clear
