Hi - I picked a 1202 up from ebay a while back which I love. The only slight 'niggle' I have is that the downstroke is out by 1/4 of an inch or so, causing the pickup arm to drop short of the record when I press the Lift button. Having looked through the service manual it looks like there are two nuts that I need to adjust for the 17, 25 and 30 settings but I am at a loss as to where these nuts/adjustments actually are. I've unscrewed the platter off the deck to look under there, but nothing seemed obvious or looked like the two nuts illustrated in the service manual. I'm I looking in the wrong place or even the wrong thing altogether?

Any help / advice would be massively appreciated.

Thanks

Darren

I must admit, I don't remember but the service manaul seems to show the eccentrics sitting below decks.

Yea, the nuts are accessable from downunder. I took of platter and tightend the transportscrews. Then turned the beogram over and unscrew the black bottomplate. When removing bottomplate take care of the "wheel" that adjust smaller speedvariates. Inside there you will see the nuts very fast. I also hade problems with downstroke at 33 rpm.

Hope this will help you.
