Beogram 3000 Type 5228 too slow

33 replies

Hello and thank you for a good insight for this kind of cumbersome and difficult  repair. I read there are many who has slow speeds. May 3000 is just a tad slow so I var tempted to hone off som brass on the pulley? That should make it go faster...or am I wrong? Then I can easily slow it with the speed control.

BTW where did you get the Mobil oil from?

Thanks ,Erik Fuglseth, Oslo

I’m by no means an expert on this field. I would just say that oiling with the correct oil seems to be the correct/best way to cure the speed problem.
I bought the oil on eBay (from UK).

Hi Erik

Honing off material from the brass stepped plulley makes it slower than before, you have to hone material ON the pulley to make the platter run faster.

😁
