Hi,

I recently bought a second-hand Beogram 7000 with an MMC2 element. When you press on start, the tone arm goes neatly above the record, however, after it has fallen on the record, I have to give a little push to the tone arm, then I hear the sound properly. If I don't do this little push, the sound sounds awful. It seems that the tone arm sticks.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks.

 

Best regards,

Bertus Toering

Hi,

Does it play the whole record ( fully ) or stops earlier?

Hi all,

I was  a bad MMC element.

I have already sent two elements to for repair:

Neatly repaired and a quotation in advance. I have now had two elements repaired, MMC4 and an MMC5. Done perfectly.

 

Best regards.

Hi Pat,

When I help the tone arm a little bit, it plays the whole record (fully).

The sounds is then excellent.

Saint Paul,

I was a bad cartridge suspension. Yesterday I received a MMC2 element and the sound is perfect.

Thanks.
