Beogram 6500 tonearm height adjustment

 

Hi,

I need a recommendation on how to remove screw "B" that adjusts the tonearm height.

The arm provides just enough clearance to play perfectly flat older (thinner) records.

The slightest warp or 180-gram vinyl exceeds the clearance.

The screw head is damaged (got it that way) and I cannot adjust the height.

Are there any tools/methods you recommend to remove or loosen the screw so that I can try to adjust the arm? The hole opening for the screw is very tiny and I haven't found a way yet.

Are there replacement parts that I could try to get?

Thanks,

Jorge

 

 

Hi, is it possible that the rear one of the tonearm slider rails has loosened and therefore the tonearm is no longer parallel to the cabinet (in cueing position)?

Thanks for the tip, Chris.

I didn't see anything out of place when I opened the TT.

I'll take a closer look. Is the position around that rail adjustable?

Thanks,

The „rail“ is a metal rod, which is normally clamped on the sub-chassis. It is not adjustable. Strictly speaking, there are 2 of those rods.
