Reply To: Beogram 8000 tonearm stuck in lift position

I’m taking the view that the 8000 is very similar to the three off 8002’s  that I have very recently worked on….one of which had that self same problem, firstly I would suggest you upgrade to silver which will give you access to the service manual for this machine. If you read my thread  “Beogram 4000 and also BG8002″ you will find the section regarding a tone arm that wouldn’t drop (feel free to look….3 people have done so already) check you are getting the required 5.0 vdc to the solenoid when it reaches the drop point…..the thread details where to measure assuming you have a meter to do so…..let me know
