I have a Beogram TX2 and everything works fine but the tone arm sets down about 1/2 centimetre into the first track. I have tried the adjustments in the service manual but no luck. Has anyone encountered this before? 

Thanks

Hi Martin

I have thoroughy reoved the old grease and applied new white grease to the rails. and checked the ecentric adjustments again. The problem remains. I have also noticed that in the stop position, the tonearm carriage does not go all the way back (right) to the end of the rails. Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks

Kelvin

How is the set down for the 17 cm setting?

On both the 17 cm and 30 cm set down points the stylus lands about 1/2 a cm into the track. Also when stop is pressed, the carriage does not go all the way back to the right . It seems to be about 1/2 cm to the left of the end of the rails.

Thanks

Have you follwed the adjustments in the correct order?

The 7" set down point has to adjusted first followed by the 12" set down point.

That is exactly where I was leading Chris. I have always found that the 7cm set down is the critical adjustment and much coarser. Get that right and the 30cm one is not far off.

The carriage does not move fully to the right, even when the adjustments are correct.

Hi Guys

I did try the 7" adjustment first which didn't seem to change the set down much. I was not sure how far to turn it as turned the tension seemed to get pretty tight.

In the meantime...I took the drive cable off and I'm having trouble getting it back on. Is there a proceedure for doing this?

Thanks

Kelvin

Almost good news. I have finally gotten the carrtiage drive belt back on, I was worried for a while. I will re-try the adjustments again
