problem with beogram tx2 turntable
in BeoGram · Oct 7, 2009 11:49If the small belt is ok (not slipping!) check the clutch mechanism that is ultimately moving the tone-arm.Usually backwards works but fastforward or play not. I have found a cure for this.
Straightening warped records

BG3000 tangential record weighing mechanism too strong
in BeoGram · Jul 27, 2009 09:01Hello CJ, can you pls put a photo of that spring part that solved your problem? I've recently checked my BG3000 and it still lifts light 12" records a bit. And the weighing mechanism jamming when not used for a while.
