wondering if anyone here can give me some advice on a bang & olufsen RX2
turntable with MMC5 cartridge. the thing worked great before it went into
storage, where it remained for some years. but when I uncrated it recently I
found that -- what a surprise -- the moving and storage guys must have been,
umm, unsympathetically rough with it. now the tonearm skates uncontrollably.
I'm not an audiophile, never was (I was barely able to remember the term
"skates") but I've been through all the adjustments I can think of to
tracking force, have rigorously leveled the turntable, and after that I'm
out of ideas. my question is: what's my next move? do I try to scout out a
reputable repair place (I'm in los angeles) and bite the bullet for what
they're likely to charge me, or sell the unit as is and use the proceeds to
buy a working replacement (which will likely be of a lower quality)? I don't
know if I've got a minor problem or a major one or what, and so am unsure
where to go from here. guess another way of putting the question is, is the
turntable of sufficiently high quality that I should invest the money in a
repair. would greatly appreciate any advice, and thanks in advance.
