Hi everyone!

I have a beogram 1800 which I purchased new about 25 years ago.  Currently the arm will lift and move to the correct LP playing location,

lower to the record surface and then immediately lift and drag across the turntable surface to its resting location.  What is causing this to occur?  Can I easliy correct tthe problem?

It sounds like it could be  a fairly simple adjustment. One possibility is that the tracking force is set too low or it may be the anti-skating control needs adjustment. Have you checked the tip on the stylus is still present and correct?

If you upgrade you membership there is a .pdf service manual  for download which will talk you through the routine  adjustments. Alternatively if you can find a B&O dealer who services older Beograms they could service it for you. Our local B&O dealer charges £45 for this

Thank you Simon!

It sounds pretty minor which I'm glad to hear.
