I have posted this in the Workbench -> Beogram 4000 restoration thread but have not received an answer yet. That's why I'm moving it in the hope of some kind of help.

I am trying to adjust the tracking force but no matter how I adjust the screw on the back, I can't get more than approx. 0.90 grams when the adjustment wheel shows 1,5. I am going for 1,2 for my MMC20EN cartridge but that is not possible. What should I do? I have tried adjusting it as it says in the service manual and the Beogram 4002-6000 restoration guide.

If the weight is too close to the arm, the arm won't lower :-(

I have lubricated all relevant parts.

Any suggestions to what I can do?
