Hi all,
I have searched these forums to the best of my ability and haven’t found any information on this subject, so I am posting a new topic. Apologies if I missed something obvious.
I recently inherited a B&O Beogram 1602 turntable. It has been in storage since 2002! and was lightly used prior to that so it seems to be in good shape. It has an MMC 10 E cartridge and the stylus is fine. The tracking weight is set to 1.44 g, which I think is about right, but I could be wrong. It starts up fine and rotates at speed, but as soon as the tone arm touches down, it skates inward. On turntables that I have owned in the past, this would be an anti-skating adjustment, but I can’t find any information about such an adjustment on the Beogram 1602. Is there such a thing? If so, how does one adjust it? If not, is there anything I can do to alleviate this problem? Any info would be appreciated.
Regards,
Tom
