PUt in a backup mmc5 that came with the TT. The 5 is scrap but both channels seemed fine. I got out and old hammer I had from buidling model trians and (very gently) tapped on my 2. Replaced and works fine. Thanks for the advice, that thing isn't leaving that TT till I need a new one.

I knew nothing about B&O before I inherited a Beogram RX2 turntable from my friend. It had belonged to his father and he did'nt have room for it and couldn't afford to get it a cartridge. I took it cleaned the rca jacks with some contact cleaner, polished the dustcover for some hairline scratchs and purchased either a brand new or refurbished
