Beogram 4004 arm won’t drop

Hi,

Nice turntable, a keeper.
I’m afraid the tonearm will have to be dismantled, cleaned bit by bit, lubricated and re-assembled. The old grease/oils become sticky and this is basic maintenance for 50 year-old decks. Do that, then we’ll advise further. Also, does the tonearm light with the red B&O logo work?

After some digging and some help from everyone here. I have got the mechanism to move freely and but it appears the dampener won’t fully activate and drop the arm. Working on taking that out and getting it cleaned up.
