Check your hinge block before investing in a stylus. I had an Amberola 30 with the same problem, someone mentioned the hinge block. I loosened it a bit, and voila, no more problems.

Another member sugessted I remove the arm and reduce the diameter. I did this and it worked just fine, however, I was able to snatch defeat from the Jaws or Victory when I dropped in the floor and broke it in half. Luckly I was able to put a dowel in it andit works fine. If I have to move the weight towards the front I may have a problem. Thanks again for the help.
