I just got my hands on a Beogram 1200. I'm not quite sure how to set it up. I know to set the cartride weight (SP14A = 2) but further down the tone arm at the back is another adjustment that you can make. Now I have no idea when to know if its adjusted properly. Also there is a speed adjuster on the side of the deck which i have adjusted to what seems to be the right speed.
If anyone can explain it me I'd be grateful.
As far as I can gather Jeff, the adjuster on the end of the arm sould be set while the other adjuster is on zero grammes, to balance.
In this position, the stylus won't lower, but just hover in mid air. It is only when you set the weight to 2 grammes that it will lower.

Hi Andy
Thats exactly what I did, but when I added the 2 grammes afterwards, the stylus still does not touch the record!! I'm presuming the 2 must be where the small indicator line comes out of the arm.
Thanks

no I mean where the adjuster for the stylus is, the tone arm is loose can move left and right on the small stylus adjuster rod. Its just in front of the counter-weight. So the arm isn't always in the middle of the rod or the circle that surrounds it. I hope I'm making some sense!!
