Beogram 8500

Hello,

Some information required please, my bg8500 has a slight problem. The problem is when I place a vinyl on and play, the arm/stylus appears to miss and drops off

So I have been using buttons to play a record.

Sometimes it works fine others it don't !! Is there any adjustment to the carriage or arm that can be done[:\'(]

Thanks for any info

Section 5-3 in the service manual explains how to adjust the set down point.  Adjustment of an eccentric disc for 17cm set down point first, followed by adjustment of a screw and arm (F and G).

As a Silver member you have access to the manual here on Beoworld:

If it's tempremental, then I'd also do a relubrication of carriage rods etc to ensure free movement.

Thanks Dave.

Great news.  I've never had to make these adjustments but it seems clear and simple enough from the manual.
