      I have three Beogram turntables and I’ve been having trouble with one of my MMC4s.  I wanted to check the tracking force is right, so I bought a tracking force gauge.

      the one I bought (here) is no good though – because two of my Beograms are linear and therefore have very little clearance beneath the stylus, this gauge is too bulky to fit beneath those.  It works for my Beogram RX-2 as that has a standard arm, but it will not work on my Beogram 3000 or 8500, because they both have the linear arm with the low clearance.

      Hard to tell from photographs online which would work best.  It doesn’t necessarily have to be a digital one, just anything that would work, and not too expensive!  Does anyone have any recommendations?

        You can get that one to work by removing the top platter and belt.

          Thanks – I was able to remove just the top platter and didn’t need to remove the belt or wheel- that did provide sufficient space to measure the stylus pressure.  Turns out it was spot-on, but I’m glad I was able to check it!
