Hi there,
When I play a record on my Beocenter 7007 the needle of the MMC5 doesn't drop down fully:
Any idea what this could be? And how I can prevent this from happening?
Many thanks in advance,
Boj
Bad cantilever suspension.Known problem.Have it re-tip'ed. It'll be like new again.

And you can upgrade it when you get it retipped. The innards of the MMC1-5 range are all the same so you can turn it into an MMC2 for much less than a new MMC2 would cost you.

Thanks for your answer Peter. Any idea where I can do this and how much this would cost?

Prices found on their respective websites.You get what you pay for, and if you go for the best you should buy the best, but it's my experience that even the cheaper types arequite good value for money.
I have long preferred Franz-Joseph, never had any problems and I have a bunch of cartridges by him at present,
but his turn around time seems to have grown to more than a year. At least that's as long as it has taken until now.

I send a MMC in the end of october/beginning of november, and it is ready for delivery.
So around 6 weeks, not a year ;-))
