Hello Beoworld!I have a TX2 that was working perfectly, now it is having tracking problems and playback issues. I locked the screws down prior too shipping and put some support around the arm prior to shipping. I even removed the platter. I think that i have some internal balance issues and was looking for some guidance on how to adjust. I have a guitar/amplifier repair background, and i am comfortable servicing my other gear ... but i can't find enough information on how to adjust the table for my specific issue.
When i press play the cartridge lowers and then starts to skate to the center. if i adjust the platter to be higher in the middle, i can get some playback, but the sound is not great, as if the tracking force is off, though the force setting is OK. I put the deck in service mode, and made some minor adjustments to the arm, as the manual guides (parallel/height/etc) and the arm appears to function/setup properly, but i can't fix the issue. The needle does not look bent on the MC4 cart. It was fully functioning when shipped.Any thoughts on a service process to bring this into specifications and discover or repair the issue? Thank you in advance for any support.Kevin
