hi my beogram 8002 when I press play the arm moves across to the record but will not lower what should I look for ? thanks
Does it goes at the end and come back to it's resting position? Do the light under the left arm shines on the platter when the carriage is moving?

hi if there is no record on the platter it will swep the platter and go back to the resting postion I can press play over and over again whith an lp on but will not lower ?
yes the left hand shines?
Wrong servo motor belt (too tight).Dirt on the threaded shaft and in the carriage bushing.Dirt on carriage rails.Bad servo motor control electronics.Any combination of the above.
When it hovers, move the carriage a few mm by using the << button, then press play again.If it starts playing the above diagnose is cofirmed.(This brings the servo opto count to an acceptable number for lowering - else it won't).
When a record is sensed, the carriage leftward speed is lowered by lowering the voltage to the servo motor sothe last 4-5 mm of travle takes place at a slow speed (with less servo motor torque).This stage is therefore quite sensitive to easy carriage movement.
