Hello,
I have recently acquired a Beogram 2400, which happens to be working beautifully - one thing that is weird is that the turntable body moves up and down (together with the tonearm) in the chassis - or it bounces, if you will... is this intentional, or is there a screw missing somewhere fixing the actual turntable to the chassis such that it does not move?
Thank you to our Sponsors
Beogram 2400 - a generic question

Nope, the bounce is intentional to prevent acoustic feedback. Enjoy your new purchase!
Thank you.
Second question I have that the stylus has a tendency to drag over the record a bit - particularly on the new/modern record - when it returns to home after finishing the record or pressing Stop - is it an easy adjustment? The stylus force is set at 1.5gr, it is a MMC20E. anything else that needs adjusting?
If you remove the counterweight you will see a screw that adjusts the tonearm height when it is cued up. This should be 5mm above the record surface.
Hi - where is the screw though? on the outside part of the counterweight, where the slider is or on the inside - see the picture - there is a screw on the inside part of the counterweight, where I marked in white - as it is dark and was not visible on the picture.
Lift the silver counterweight out of the arm and you will see it.
How exactly do I lift the silver counterweight? Does it slide off or something? Maybe a daft question, however I am a new to this, so wouldn't want to break something by mistake...
Grab the edge to the silver plate on the rear of the tone arm and lift it out. It fits using friction.
Got it, managed to take it out. The manual says the adjustment should be made with a counterbalance weight inserted though...? So I adjust, put it back in and measure and readjust if need be? stating the obvious, I can't access the screw if the counterbalance is in...
The issue they are trying to address, is that when the weight is removed, the suspension will be higher on that side and the tonearm will show a great distance from the surface. Simply adjust and place it in but not fully seated so that you can check the height.
