PHOTO #4

 SHOWS THE RUBBER SLEEVE DRIED & CRACKED

WHEN CRACKED IT NO LONGER APPLIES TENSION TO THE TWO BALL BEARINGS & THE ARM DOESN'T LOCATE PROPERLY VERTICALLY 

THE ARM WILL THEN BIND (SKIP)  WHEN TRACKING A RECORD OR BIND & WON'T MOVE ON TO OR OFF THE RECORD.

VERY OFTEN YOU THINK IT IS THE GUIDE OR OTHER PARTS --IT IS USUALLY THE SLEEVE.

THE BALL BEARINGS DON'T GO BAD BUT IF MISSING OR LOST WE HAVE ANOTHER  LISTING WHICH IS FOR SLEEVE & TWO BALL BEARINGS.
