Calling all Technics SL1500C owners - Cue lever

[TK421]

Hi all,
Just acquired a Technics SL1500C and I'm very happy with it...except for the cue lever. Seems very unresponsive and cheap.
It seems strange that Technics woud have included such a dinky plasticy cue lever when the rest is a good quality build.
Anybody else have this issue?

If it does it's job I cannot understand why you are complaining assuming you auditioned it before buying,, it isn't exactly top of the line stuff.

I didn’t audition it as I don’t have a shop near me to do so. I went off online reviews, YouTube vids and forums. Happy with my choice but I do find the cue lever to be flimsy and I was wondering if it was just my TT.
