Curious if anyone has seen this problem before. I just picked up a Beogram 2400. Everything works fine except that the arm does not lift itself up before returning from "play" mode. The problem lies in the lack of tension on the spring for the auto return system shown in the picture. The spring is supposed to put pressure on the brass rod so that when the cam it is connected to moves it moves up or down.
I have a 2402 which has a very similar lifting mechanism, except that it has a small piece of plastic that juts out underneath (or above depending on your orientation) of the spring. It does not appear that anything has broken on my 2400 though.
Has anyone seen this problem before and knows if there is something missing or knows of a good modification? It doesn't look like there's enough surface area to get a good bond using superglue if I were to try modifying it.
