I had the same problem with my Beogram 6500.  Here's a link to the post.  You'll need to upgrade your Beoworld membership to access the technical manual.

The hook for the carriage wire is about to break off.
Repair this and readjust the excentric for the set-down point.

Hello, 

De tone arm of my Beogram 5500 lowers too soon and the needle will not find a groove but slide back off the record. I did not have this problem before, it started suddenly.

Does anybody have an idea what might be causing this. Maybe some sensor for the tone arm to know when to lower itself is broken or...? 

I searched high and low for an answer but can't find it.

 

Hope to be playing records again soon!

As Dillen says….

I took the top of and see this. You mean that little hook that holds the wire and spring shouldnt' be laying flat?

And should i fix it as on photo here? (with bolt and nut) /forum/beogram/beogram-6002-how-to-make-parallel-the-detector-and-the-pick-up-arms#post-1679021

And what is the 'excentric' ?

Thanks again.,

Hi,

the black round plastic around which the rope is led is an eccentric two adjust the tonearm setup point!

Exactly, the tap is broken. I have fixed quite a few with nut/bolt method. Since the bolt is a bit thicker than the plastic tap, I normally loosen the black

disc all the way, so there is less stress on the string while putting the spring end over the bolt.

When you release the string completelly, try to keep a bit of pull on both ends so it will not hop off the big carrier wheel.

Great. How do I adjust de excentric ring/black disc. I see the nylon tab that points to plus and minus. Can I just turn it with a screwdriver or do i need to loosen the crosshead screw that the metal tab pivots around?

Just a screwdriver.
