hi everyone,
just purchased a 1202 in good cosmetic condition but I can't seem to hear anything.
as far as I could see everything seems to work mechanically fine - all arm wires are attached
no cable broken - tried with two different cartridges ....but no sound to be heard !
any suggestions or ideas are most welcome
cheers, alf
Does your reciever/amplifier got a RIAA-pre amplifier?

greetings,
I am using two Braun R4/2 receivers, both come with phono-inputs offering either RCA or DIN connectors
cheers, ALF
Is the stylus tracking the record correctly ?

Dillen: Is the stylus tracking the record correctly ? Martin
And if yes, Does the Braun use the same pin connection as the B&O 5 pin DIN, and check the muting contact in the 1202.
Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.
hi martin,
first thing: the cantilever seems to be in a fairly low angle, so the stylus tip does just look out of that transparent plastic bit ?
it is an SP-10 - on my SP-14 the cantilever angler is a lot bigger and when the arm is lowered the stylus sits correctly in the groove.
to sum up: I suspect the suspension of that SP-10 system is damaged.
so soren,
the DIN 5-pin plug seems different - I did use a DIN-RCA adaptor and surprise....the signal was there :-)
had to use an additional piece of wire to eliminate the hum though !
next project in line is to figure out the tracking force and antiskating adjustment as that little turning knob on the arm's right side came undone
as it is spring-loaded I am stepping totally in the dark after pushing it back in what I am actually adjusting in terms of force ??
cheers, klaus
You set the knob to "0" and then turn the counterweight until the tonearm balances in mid-air. Then you set the knob to the desired needle pressure.
