I never found a way to fix this issue so very happy to see your reply here

Looks like you are completely right. I have located the white plastic bar and the metal rod. Looks like they are not connected. Are you able to describe send me a picture of how they are supposed to connect? Is the metal rod supposed to be on the other side of the bar?

Near the other end of the white bar is supposed to be a spring. Is it missing?
Martin

It is connected to this spring that lifts the tonearm if that is what you mean 

It does, however, seem to be loose and it feels like it should be connected to the metal rod somehow or held in place by it. As it is now, the tone arm is very loose and wobbly and if I turn the white bae the arm goes to the right position

Is anybody able to snap a photo of how the white bar and rod are connected? Basically what my previous post looks like in a functioning unit

No. The spring I talk about sits at the bottom plate. Horizontally in a small ridge. Partly under and in front of the white bar, pulling in a small hook at the underside of the white bar.

Check also that the black vertical lifting arm from the carriage goes behind the white bar. Not in front of it.

Tak , vil tjekke det ud :)

How do I get to the spring? Do I need to remove the whole tonearm assembly?

No.
Just open the Beogram into serviceposition.

Martin

What's the correct way to open into service position. A Google search didn't give me detailed instructions for TX2. Do you happen to know?  Thanksh

What about a servicemanual...
Take off the platter and push the carriage left as far as it will go.
Take out two screws under the right edge of the Beogram and lift up the right edge. The whole top is hinged along its left side.

I’m a little late here and not intending on stepping into the conversation, so I am answering from your first  picture which is clear. The end of that steel rod, should be tight against the white bar.   Follow that bar towards the front and you will see it bends up and is hooked into a metal ‘h’ shaped bar at the top of the ‘h’.  The bottom left leg of ‘h’ should have a spring looped onto it which is connected toward a plastic black bar towards the front.  It connect near where the metal rod connects to the ‘h’ .   I can’t seem to figure out how to upload a picture, but hopefully my description above isn’t too convoluted
