Further to my reply, what cartridge does it have and did it work ok before or has it always been like this ?
The original cartridge was sunk into the arm each side of the mounting posts. Most modern ones sit on the edge of the mounting posts and consequently are about 6mm lower. Plus the fact some cartridges are quite deep anyway, there can be the situation whereby you are almost at the end of both adjustments to get it to work correctly.

The adjustments in the manual are only relevant with the GE factory installed cartridge.
If you have a different cartridge it will hang lower and the adjustments will need to be more, and trial and error.
There is a hex adjustment on the pivot of the arm bracket (not the arm itself) and also on the front of the arm bracket set in a locking nut if you lift it you will see the small hex screw adjustment there also.
That Ami arm rises on a cam, it's quite unusual in the way it works. So you need to screw down the hex screw at the rear of the arm, so that the rotation of the cam lifts the arm up more.

Please please can any one help me.
I have a Continental 2, my problem is the tone arm when record finishes scrapes across record (stylist).
I’ve set all adjustments according to manual. What am I missing?
The tonearm height adjustment could be off. How far is the stylus abovelead-in groove before it sets down? When rejecting, does it scrapeacross the full width of the record, or at some point does it lift up?
