Before I had a wide range of styli, I used to transfer some discs with
tracking problems by applying pressure with my finger on the back end of the
tone arm. 
The entire "Spellbound" album on ARA was done this way...and with stopping
and starting and splicing, since this was back in the tape days. I'd end up
with a pretty sore arm.

After all those years of playing 78s and LPs  in their heyday, I never realized that a tone arm has feelings!
