Hi, this is clever, but how can you remove the platter ? I have a BG7000 and a BG4500 to test, and I don't understand how to remove the platters, and did not find any clue in the manuals either. 

Thanks

You're going to kick yourself..... the platter just lifts off. 

If it hasn't been removed since build it is probably sticky?

Very carefully, try sliding a couple of dining table knives under the edge opposite themselves and gently lift the platter.

Ice-cream sticks of the flat type won't scratch.

But you don't need to take off the platter to use a tracking force guage on Beogram 4500 or 7000.
In standby, place the tracking force guage under the stylus while it is in the parked position, press and hold >> (or is it >>, I don't remember) for a few seconds, and the needle will be lowered on to it.
Press stop when done.

Oooh, thanks, it was so easy; I thought I had to remove the central disc before !

Perfect, this worked, but I had to remove the platter to easily place the gauge.

However, while my MMC5 is correctly set at 1,5g, the MMC2 which I adjusted at 1g is sounding fuzzy…

I had to set it up again at 1,7 g in order to have a correct sound. Tha's not normal, is it the characteristic of a worn / used stylus ?
