Hi
I picked up a beogram2200 with out a cartridge, before a invest in an expensive cartridge I would like to know that i am seeing normal behavior.
the manual turn turns the platter fine.
when i press the play button nothing happens, is this normal when there is no cartridge?
Welcome to Beoworld,
as a fully automatic turntable, you will notice that the black centre spindle can be pressed down. This is the record detection system. Without a record on the turntable, pressing play will do nothing. The 'turn' function allows you to clean a record without the tonearm moving across. Try with a record on the turntable having ensured all transit screws have been unfastened first.
Dave.
