You may need to try 20, 30 or even 50 times.</p><p>The same applies to Beogram 1800, 2000 and 5000 which are of a similar build.</p><p>Martin</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/56350.aspxWed, 17 Oct 2007 17:00:49 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:56350murcieme0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/56350.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=56350<p>Hi Everyone!&nbsp; This is my first post here.&nbsp; I encountered a problem when setting up my old Beogram RX turntable today.&nbsp; After just two years packed away (in the very room my system is in, not a basement / storage area etc.) upon setting it up and trying to play an LP, the tonearm swings over to the record, touches down for a second, picks back up and returns to the home position.</p><p>I&#39;ve tried adjusting the counterweight a little (I have an MMC5 cart. with 1.5g&#39;s recommended) with no change in behaviour.</p><p>It used to work perfectly in my last place. I packed it very well and can&#39;t imagine any significant trauma occurring during the move nor while in storage under my bed.</p><p>Please help me. I&#39;m just a poor guy wanting to listen to his vinyl!&nbsp; I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and don&#39;t really have the resources to get this looked at professionally.</p><p>Thank you for any information or assistance you can give!</p><p>Michael Steeves</p><p>mjsteeves@sympatico.ca<br />&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
