Hello All!
I recently received a King's Point brand record player/receiver made in Korea. It has an amp built in, as well as a am-fm receiver and 8 track player. It seems to work decently, and plays records well (not quite as nice as my Dual), but I am concerned because I have never used a record player without a proper counterweight (it has 2 adjustable springs) and I can't seem to get the tone arm to float. My question is:
Is there another method for adjusting counterbalance on a spring system?
And
Would is behoove me to invest in a more high quality record player to preserve my records? I am mainly trying to keep my records in good condition (like I said, the sound is decent, not great). I am worried that this tone arm is weighed down too much or something. If I keep this one, I'll probably buy a new needle because this one seems to be cruded-over and one of the channels occasionally cuts out.
If there is any more information I could provide just ask me,
Thanks in advance!
