I bought a bunch, and some that look good (quite a few actually) seem to be skipping. Perhaps it's my machine, but other DD's seem to play just fine.
Thanks Mike

Actually, there's a ton of discussion on this very point. Sorry for the burden!

Thanks Mike DD phonographs can give you skipping problems if the machine is not level. Also, I've noticed that if the reproducer weight is slightly tilted, this can cause skipping as well. If everthing is level and aligned properly, skipping is probably due to damaged records. It doesn't take much to cause a skip because the grooves are so fine.

Mike,
When the record "skips," where is the limit pin in relation to the limit loop? It should be centered during play and about half way between the bottom of the sound cup and the bottom of the limit loop with the Reproducer down on the record and if the horn assembly is out of adjustment it may cause this problem. Also look for any brown grooves on the playing surface. This indicates that the condensite surface has been penetrated and you are down to the wood flour core. Nothing can really be done for the worn groove, you will have to rely on the feedscrew to pull the Reproducer into the better groove.
