Hello everyone,
With a desire to get back into vinyl, I just recently purchased a Beogram 1600 turntable from a local seller. He said that it was in working order, and it appeared to be, but when I hooked it up this morning and put an album on the platter, it came out sounding like chipmunks. I suspect that the speed needs to be adjusted and have tried to move the tiny fingerwheel above the square operating plate (apparently this is the "pitch control", but to no avail--it's too deep down beneath the square button that controls the stylus, and what ends up happening is that the stylus moves up and down on the record but at the same. Seems like it's stuck at 45 rpm and I can't get it back to 33.
Many thanks for any advice or insights that you can offer.
