The Linn Sondek is a wonderful piece of engineering but like any finely balanced system, it can’t be expected to stay in shape for ever without at least a little bit of attention.
Most Linn Sondeks were made in the 1980s and whether they have been in continuous or intermittent use since then, most will benefit from a tune-up.

Over time:
• Springs sag
• Rubber grommets harden
