[Jukebox-list] AMI 200-select tonarm pivot

[Carmack]

Hey folks,

I've acquired an AMI 200-select mechanism that I'm building a "hideaway" 
cabinet to place in, supposedly out of a Continental II (stereo 
cartridge is mounted).  I've been able to rig it up to play on the 
bench, except for one thing.  It seems the tonearm has too much lateral 
friction in both directions causing skips.  The manual shows nothing as 
far as an exploded view of that assembly, and I'm stumped as to what 
it's supposed to look like.  It has that vertical "tube" that the 
tonearm rides on which has already been lubed with lithium grease, but 
there's nothing on top of it.  That doesn't seem right to me.  Am I 
missing a piece that should be there? Does it have a pivot pin? Anybody 
got a scan of what it should really look like?

Thank you!
