Fair enough Phil, I (wrongly) assumed the 8002 was akin to the TX which uses the same tonearm with the later MMC* cartridge fitting and does differ as I mentioned earlier - DOH. Chris.

Hi Phil and welcome to Beoworld The 8002 was a later deck from the 8000 and although very similar there are quite a few differences (tachodisc control abandoned & a completely different turntable drive method being just 2 of them) so I very much doubt if the board you have on your desk is the same one used in your beogram.

A14BEO: T2 - "Heartbroken" - crap British garage!! But, through Lab 1's, a Lab 2 and Lab 3's it sounds slightly better than normal! All you need now Matt is to add some Lab 4's & 5's and you'll have the full set Got "The Feeling" helping me cope with the Christmas wrapping just now. Chris.

Cheers Craig, in that case there are indeed 2 adjusters as I suspected. Chris.
