Beogram 5000

Hello out there

My beogram 5000 got the idea today that it does not want to lower the arm all the way down to the plate - it only sorts it a little "nude" - now before I start separating something - anyone who has the suggestion for the cause?

Check, clean and lubricate the lift mechanism

hello,

Søren is basically right, in well-maintained device has less problems.

For a diagnosis I personally miss a little information!

- starts that device normally and moves the tonearm to the record?

if so, is the tonearm free to move, or is it blocked?

- Did the device possibly get a shock, that would be a mechanical problem with the tonarm lift mechanism interpret?

- is something else not yet correct when starting or stopping the device?

 

In no case forcefully push the tonearm down, which has catastrophic effects!
