HMV 102 Auto-Brake

Post by old-bloke »

Hi
I would really like to know how to adjust this auto-brake on my HMV 102.
I would also like to know if the brake operating arm at the base of the tone-arm is the correct one and that it's orientation is correct. The brake operating arm is a half round bracket with two arms coming off it with a pin in the end of each arm facing downwards.
Cheers

Everything is in order there, except that the large circlip that secures the two parts together looks to be too thick, and not the original, which may prevent free movement of the various parts. The brake operating lever at the base of the arm is correct, and in the right place. What do you need to adjust?
