Hi, very nice forum here. I've searched and found a few helpful threads for my Beogram 1700 tha I've had for several years, but most of the helpful responses link to a thread showing how to make repairs and adjustments, but the links are bad.
Maybe this is due to the new vs old forum, I'm not sure. Can somebody give me a little guideance as to how to find helpful posts? So far my 1700 is starting to spin too fast for the 33 rpm, either that or somebody switched out my records for The Chipmunks! From reading here sounds like I may need a new belt.
Second, I need to adjust slightly where the needle lowers onto the record, it starts a couple mm in too far, so on some records the first song is already started.
The arm rests very low to the deck and last week I bumped it and it bounced on the aluminum. I don't like that - is that how the 1700 is by design, or does it need adjustment?
Yesterday I put a record on and the arm skated across the record. I have not had a chance to look at why yet, but I will look into that next. I figured I would gather some information on how to service the unit first. I looked in the owners manual, but it doesn't have any useful information other that the very basics.
I have this 1700 playing with a Marantz 2220b receiver into Klipschorns and it sounded very nice. I use a MMC20EN cartridge and have (1) spare, so I'd like to get my TT back in great shape. Any help would be appreciated.
