Beogram 1700

It's solid enough, unless you misuse it or pack it badly for transport. But I suppose that goes for all tonearms.
Does it sound any different? - Well, not that I can tell, but perhaps it can be measured.
It's much lighter and has a different resonance frequency.

Thank you for responding.
The Beogram 1700 appears not to have a "stop" control-button, like the 1900/1902; a strange omission in my view. Now you have to touch the tonearm to return it after pushing "pauze".

A nice solution could have been to touch the "pauze" button twice for "stop", but perhaps that was too complicated to design in those days.
Something that caught me out with my beogram 1700. I set the tracking weight to 1.1 grams, I thought, and the stylus shot across the record. I'd actually set it to 0.11 grams. The calibration is in tenths of a gram. To get the 1.1 grams that the stylus needs, you set it to 11 (shades of Spinal Tap), i.e. one complete rotation of the counterweight plus one unit.
Adjustments can be done through holes in the bottom plate. Refer to the user or service manual.
But trimmers and/or capacitors may be bad.
A service kit is available.
