Needle Drop

2 replies

I have noticed that on some of my LP's the needle drops about 1 to 2 seconds into the first song. How can I adjust the needle drop about 1/16 inch further from the first song?

BEOGRAM RX2

Hey! Unfortunately this is going to be super vague, but I had a similar issue on my Beogram 5500 (about 5 years ago). If you open up the top case, there are two screws to loosen / tighten that control where the needle drops on both 7" and 12" record sizes respectively. 

I know it's not the greatest instruction, but maybe it's something to help any google searching!
