Technics SL-1900 trouble.

This morning I picked up a gorgeous Technics SL-1900 table at a rummage sale. I paid a little more than I usually do, but it was beautiful! Got it home and it works perfect, except the tone arm lift will not go down. Even if I move the lever to raise/lower, it doesn't move. Its a full auto table, so when it starts, it moves the arm to the record, but it wont lower it onto the record. Am I missing something? Is it grease related? I haven't opened her up yet, so I am hoping its a minor fix.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
 
Thanks rjbstoke. I ended up doing exactly that after a friend told me how to do it. BUT, its great to have a video to actually see it being done. Saves a lot of guesswork. Maybe the next guy can use this thread too! :thumbsup:
 
Well I finally got around to the 1900. Glad I did it was a very easy job.Just do as he says.It's working beautifully. Put on a Stanton 681EEE and some Four Tops .Things are good again. Thank you rjbstoke
