Beogram 7000 Tone arm does not fall far enough on the record

Hi,

I recently bought a second-hand Beogram 7000 with an MMC2 element. When you press on start, the tone arm goes neatly above the record, however, after it has fallen on the record, I have to give a little push to the tone arm, then I hear the sound properly. If I don't do this little push, the sound sounds awful. It seems that the tone arm sticks.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks.

Best regards,

Bertus Toering

Hi all,

I was  a bad MMC element.

I have already sent two elements to for repair:

Tonabnehmerservice.de | Pick-up service. Buying, selling and restoring B & O and all other MM and MC cartridges

Neatly repaired and a quotation in advance. I have now had two elements repaired, MMC4 and an MMC5. Done perfectly.

Best regards.

Hi Pat,

When I help the tone arm a little bit, it plays the whole record (fully).

The sounds is then excellent.

Saint Paul,

I was a bad cartridge suspension. Yesterday I received a MMC2 element and the sound is perfect.

Thanks.
