Joe,

 One other suggestion for you, be sure to turn the lamp intensity down on the bulb (the adjustment is on the back of the chassis).  The bulb will last longer if you have the filament somewhat dim, but bright enough to hear volume without distortion.   Between tweaking the screw on the tone arm , the brightness of the bulb, and the volume on the chassis, try to get the best compromise.    Best of luck.
