Hi all

Just a quick question, my beogram 1202 when set to automatic cue is beginning the record half way through, is this just a unbalanced tone arm issue??

Thanks

No it isn’t. Just set it on 30.

Hi again Jacques! 😕

The TT is set to 30 but keeps starting play in the middle of the record?

Then something is off. Was the tonearm forced at some point?

What does it do on 25 and 17?

Automatic is not a setting. Thats just a label.

turn the knob clockwise to 30cm and Press lift.

It’s possible that the tone arm was forced in the past as I haven’t long had the TT, will see what it does at 25 and 17 and get back to you probably won’t be till tomorrow😕
