Happy New Year From Massachusetts

Hey All,

Just reaching out to say hi and Happy New Year to all the AK members. I live in the suburbs of Boston and was more of an audiophile in my youth, but still dabble. I inherited a Nakamichi CR-3A and a B&O Beogram 1800 from my brother who passed, and just finished replacing the belts on the CR-3A with help from an excellent YouTube tutorial. Unfortunately, had less luck getting the 1800 up and running. Replacing the belt was relatively easy, but when reassembled, the platter sat too low, making the record actually touch the surface of the turntable. Tried to find some help in various places and can't seem to get any direct advice on what's wrong and how to fix it. In the meantime, another problem crept up, the tone arm will move over to the record and descend. Then it stays for a few rotations and then returns to stand by position and the turntable stops. Is this actually an unrelated problem or does it have something to do with the original problem? – David

Amy leftover parts from tt project?
Sounds like something didn't get put back on either the spindle or something else. As mentioned, the turntable forum is the place to go, this one just for introductions.
Welcome & good luck! Lots to learn here.:bigok:
