Just sitting here killing time and figured I may as well ask since it's on my mind.
Forgive me, I don'the have the manual handy so proper terminology is out the window.
I was going through the phono mech of my father's smc2, and I noticed one of the studs located next to the spring/bushing assembly was slightly bent. These studs look like they are either for locking the Assy down for transport or limiting it's bounce.
Do you think is may be an indicator of potential mechanical problems I just haven't found yet?
