I recently bought a Beogram 4002 and everything works great but the tone arm will not drop. I adjusted the balance weight as much as possible and it is close but there is still not enough force to drop. I have a small washer taped to the tone arm now which provides just enough weight for it to drop. Is there something I'm missing to help it drop?

Beogram 4002 Tone Arm Won't Drop

The 4002 employs both static (weight) and dynamic (spring) tracking force adjustments. With the dial at 0 you need to adjust the rear counterweight using its screw so the arm floats with 0 tracking force. Then the knob should apply the specified force by adjusting it to your cartridge’s requirement.
Thats amazing, works perfectly now. Thanks for helping this rookie out.
