Tone arm skates across when playing LP's

Adam New member Username: Dunny69 Post Number: 1 Registered: Mar-17	Posted on Wednesday, March 15, 2017 - 07:30 GMT My first record player for 30 years and I need help please. I have a Dansette Consort and the Tone arm skates across when playing LP's. It works fine on singles. I've tried flicking the Stylus over but this does not work. Thanks
