Hi all,
i am trying to fix a beogram RX (5773),
upon pressing 45/33 to start playing the record, everything seems fine. the tone arm has automatically gone to the start position (i.e. the outer edge of a record) and it gently falls into place.
not two seconds go by, untill it slides right off the platter and back out to end position (i.e. perpendicular to the table's width dimension)
it seems that there is a force pushing it back out to end position (as if the record ended) .
i should mention that everything else seems to be in good working order except for the fact that the weight is loose (comes right of the axis with no mechanism that locks it in place, making it a challenge to balance the tonearm, though it still is possible).
