basically
i was just spinning, went to put a record on my deck and dropped it onto my deck by accident. the tonearm got hit and went a bit mad, and now when i put it on the rekkid it just skips to about halfway.
i took the needle off both and put it on the record just to test if it was the tonearm like, and the broken one moved along the record a bit and stayed at about 1/3 of the way across, but the one that works went all the way to the end of the record. I've been told its a needle problem, but i'd like a second opinion, can anyone help me out?
