Re: lube. If you "get into it" and lube the tracks too, don't do what I did.

Use some kind of white or (?) grease on the upper/lower tracks around
opening. I used black WB grease. Kinda messy. Rooky mistake! Also
there are 2 or so screws holding the cover on the slider for the arm
if you lube that.

As per the first thing Scott said, I'll bet it's the adjustment on the
cable. Probably was loosening over time.

Best of luck!
