beogram 2404 tone arm wont set correctly

4 replies

I am working on the above and have it all set but cant get the tone arm to set on the edge of the record. I have tried the 2 white eccentric's doesn't make a difference. Any one work on one of these and have a similar problem. any help appreciated

Thanks Jack 

Does the arm lift off correctly by end of record, when returning to rest position is the arm parallel to the deck side ?

Check, clean and lubricate the tonearm shaft and the bushing and mechanism for the lift up/down movement, did you clean and lubricate inside.
