Record deck 'hum'

power supply unit would be my chief suspect. You could wire a car battery direct to see if the hum goes. gd luck
 
I'm just feeling my way around this subject but I think the problem you describe is called 'skid' and it's adjustable.
This is a great site with lots of tips and it's free. http://www.vinylengine.com/

Yes, maybe its that, although it didnt suffer from skid or glide back in the day - the tone arm was in good balance etc - unless the vinyl was full of dust or fluff

cheers for reply
 
Bit awkward to do that but not impossible. Wired up under the floor. But good point, I'd only thought of moving the deck but that would mean shifting all the amps and that wiring is also concealed. I'll try turning speaker away from deck and move it around to see what effect it has. Thanks.

Also check the needle connection mate.
