Beogram 1600 arm going back to rest position after 2 seconds

3 replies
Hi all, I bought this turntable on one of the auctions few weeks back. When I placed the record and pressed start, it started turning, the arm moved towards the record, and then immediately went back to its rest position. The wheel did not stop. It will stop when I press Stop button.
Which cartridge are you using? And what is the tracking force set to? Martin
Hi Martin, That's actually a good question. I'm a beginner, so not sure about tracking force, but the cartridge is MMC 10 E .   Thanks   btw. I will post some pics (as I took off the plate) over the weekend
