Beogram RX 2 pickup arm touch-down position

[Philip Pedersen]

Hi friends 👋

I just acquired a fine looking RX 2 with a “simple” platter (did B&O offer this model with two different platters?).

Searching in both the owners and the service manual, I find no info on how to adjust the touch-down position specifically for the RX 2.

I’ve found that the manual is identical to the ones for Beogram 1800/2000/5000 and should therefore match the RX 2, but I cannot find “eccentric R or P” anywhere on the inside of my RX 2.

Screenshot of the manual snippet is attached.

Currently, the pickup arm lowers just shy of the record, slipping off and then onto the metal plate. Not good.

Please advice and thanks in advance.

The arm that has the N and R eccentric is marked as 1606 in the service manual. The problem with the diagram is it leaves out identifying details. That a look at the exploded parts view. As to the platters there were two – one with printed spokes and one with rings.
