B&O Beogram 2000 turntable arm won't go down
Hello,
I am having a problem with my turntable. When I try to play a record on the turntable, the arm will move to above the record but not lower itself. I don't see anything blocking it. Any suggestions? We purchased it around 1984, and has worked great until today. Please help!

A service manual might be useful, beomanuals.com has a lot of free service manuals . . .
Check to see if there is a cueing lever that is holding the arm in the up position. If no cueing lever and it has worked recently then something has happened to the changer mechanism. Open the bottom and look to see if there is an obvious problem like something stuck or broken. You may be able to make the mechanism go through its cycle slowly by rotating the platter with your hand so you can see where it is getting stuck.
