I have a Beogram 3000 Type 5214 (the one with RIAA socket) that needs rewiring and cleaning up.
It seems like there is more than one way to do it (see pics) but it there one that is best?

I’m not sure I understand your question. The solder connections all look sound. By rewiring are you planning to replace the wire? These are simply terminals so as long as they match the other side’s wiring the order doesn’t matter.

While that type of maintenance is great to do, it will not likely solve your hum problem. Hum is typically caused by improper grounding between the turntable chassis and the receiver/preamp. The wires shown in your picture are the signal wires. The ground wire will be separate to the ground screw if you are using RCA phono connectors and its connected to the shield of the internal side of a DIN cable. If you still can’t find it, please post pictures of both ends of your turntable output cable and its connections.
