Hello,

I just bought this Zenith solid state portable record player off marketplace. I was told that it turns on and plays but the arm starts to drift.

I did plug it in and it does power on and spin at all speeds. Haven’t tried it with a record yet.

Did a bit of research and it sounds like the drifting could be a tracking issue with the arm typically caused by the grease getting gunky.

Question is, how hard of a fix is this? I have some basic electrical and mechanical know-how but still very much a beginner especially with record players.

Also, anyone have a link to a service manual? The sticker on the back says the model is an A507v.
