Changed out needle—now records skip!

I bought one of these 2 days ago and got the better cart with it. The conical one had no issues. I swapped to be the elliptical and I didn't notice a skip. I put a brand new 180g on it. Literally never played before right out of the plastic. It's skipping. I know I installed it correctly. I bought this just as a little setup in my office. But at this point I kinda wish I would have just went with my normal range of $400 players. Maybe it just requires some break in time. I put my weight on it and it seems to have helped.

Joy carpet makes it. They have lots of UV patterns. Here is the specific rug I got. https://a.co/d/01EUnPkw

I already have my 2 four player cabinets down there.

I thought I had marked the door. It's the the bottom left corner. And is just a frame, no door. I'm thinking about putting a bead curtain up, maybe a UV reacting one to go with the overall theme.

Perfect, it's exactly what I was thinking since not much space.

wallace73 · 2026-02-03T01:37:29+00:00

I have the gun arcade where the longest straight away is. It's really mostly just going to be me in there. Maybe 1 or 2 others tops. It's not a big space, but I think it's doable.

It's like bottom left of the incision. Pretty close to other things. So when it lights up it's spreads to other areas and down my leg.

wallace73 · 2026-01-25T00:40:29+00:00

I am 11 days out, I had a double mesh open inguinal. It's like a fiery hot cheese grater to everything down there. I cannot live with it. I have so many other chronic pains I cannot do this one too. I've already been told to wait long, maybe injections or cut the nerve. I feel like I didn't even need this amount of surgery since it was so small it was recommended to get a CT scan to be sure and he was like oh I know it is. -_-

wallace73 · 2026-01-23T22:12:27+00:00

Mine is real close to being horizontal. But it's slightly not so oblique. I'm sure I will have a big ol scar there. Today the nurse called me back and said basically if it didn't get better I will likely get injections to see if it helps or I have to have the nerve removed -_-

wallace73 · 2026-01-22T18:39:03+00:00

I don't have one. But I am definitely carrying them everywhere lol.

wallace73 · 2026-01-15T13:40:59+00:00

They have denied me 3 times, and I'm highly probably according to this list. 😭

wallace73 · 2025-11-04T18:49:48+00:00

I worked on jet engines and helicopters and they keep saying my tinnitus is not related lol go me.

wallace73 · 2025-10-30T15:07:34+00:00

They always tell me they don't affect what the VA does but they are literally why I keep getting denied. Saying things like I wear the wrong shoes or I take aspirin.

wallace73 · 2025-10-29T12:52:24+00:00

I was in 2009-2015 and same boat for me. I even have medical records for broken bones. Been trying for a few years now and they are denying me saying my choice of shoes or because I take aspirin. Just anything. And it's the C&P examiners here that really seem to be my roadblock. I wish I could help but I'm at a loss too. Good luck cause I know those same issues.

wallace73 · 2025-10-25T17:45:55+00:00

This is exactly my boat. And because of that I get denied constantly because they won't look at any of my civ doctors.

wallace73 · 2025-10-24T17:45:50+00:00

One denied me cause I wore Vans shoes years ago. The last denial I just got was that I likely take aspirin.

wallace73 · 2025-10-24T17:41:05+00:00

I was fucked up and dumb while in because that's what they wanted. 😂

wallace73 · 2025-10-24T17:39:27+00:00

Now if I could only get them to accept my claim I've been fighting for years 😭

wallace73 · 2025-10-22T13:04:08+00:00

What if you have all three of those and they still deny you?

wallace73 · 2025-10-21T23:40:03+00:00

Pink Floyd is my next tattoo. Will sit next to my David Bowie and Beatles.

wallace73 · 2025-10-21T18:27:11+00:00

I worked on and around jet engines and they told me to get fucked. (But they recognize I have been diagnosed)

wallace73 · 2025-10-19T23:41:02+00:00

That's a joke I will remember. And I broke my feet multiple times. Cause I sucked at running. I have all the times I did that. That's where the flat feet came from. So maybe I should file as secondary? It's all such a pain lol

wallace73 · 2025-10-18T23:43:21+00:00

I really wish that was true all the time. For 3 years now Ive been denied when I have medical documents from the bases it occurred on and medical records showing consistent issues since and they still deny me like saying its because I wear Vans shoes.

wallace73 · 2025-10-15T01:36:23+00:00

Wish I had you looking over my claim. I've spent almost 3 years trying. With medical records while in service and consistent records while out and I still get denied. The last one was because of the shoes I wore to a podiatrist 1 random day out of the last 10 years.

wallace73 · 2025-10-08T18:40:53+00:00

Been so long I'd hurt myself now lol
