Late last year I imported an Audio-Technica LP-120 turntable from Amazon. I was using it over the weekend, and I noticed the hydraulic tone-arm mechanism no longer works. Because I imported this from the US, I'm pondering what I can do about it. As far as I can see, I have these options:-1) Put up with it. The turntable still works, but I have to be very careful when lowering the tone-arm onto a record2) Contact Audio-Technica to see if it can be fixed. My concern with doing this is that Audio-Technica will require me to ship it to them at my expense, which considering the nature of the problem doesn't make it economical to do so.3) Take it to an authorised repairer here to get it fixed at my expense.4) Fix it myself.... if that is even possible.I'd love to go with no. 4, but I don't want to dive into this and make the problem even worse. Are there any other LP-120 users here that have had the same issue with their turntables? And if so, were you able to resolve it yourself?I may reach out to Audio-Technica anyway to see whether they can help, but I suspect it will be cost prohibitive for me.
