Makes sense.

We all normally use the 33 1/3 RPM, but I have several 45 RPM LP's.

With repeated use, the problem "went away." But now I know what to do about it if/when it reoccurs.

Thank you kindly!

P.S. I just love my remote controlled 4004! 😁

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Good that the problem solved itself 😁 The reply from @

Responding? My pleasure entirely. 😁

We are all here to help each other, and as it is,  I learned a good deal from this conversation.Mahalo.

Beograms are pretty much "my life" and this issue could come up with most of them. You might have noticed I have a 4000, 4002, 4004, 8000, 8002, and last but not really least, 1602.

I can not encourage you enough to acquire a nice Beomaster 2400.2 to experience the absolute JOY 🤩 of the remote control function.

Sadly, in general, BUT good for you, multiple 2400.2's come up for sale on eBay virtually every day. [I say they should be more appreciated.]

I have two Beomaster 2400.2's; one my virtually flawless original, and the second, a tattered but functional gift from a great friend. Both provide glorious music on a near daily basis and I just couldn't part with either.

I hope you take the plunge and buy a Beomaster 2400.2 but know this, your Beogram 4004 will need the additional 2 pins to function. If your 4004 has a 5-pin connection, you will need the screw-in 2 additional pins.

If you require the additional pins, I may well have a source.

I am happy to report back that cleaning the speed relay box solved the 45rpm stability issue.  I used a piece of paper with detox, and then pro gold to clean the contacts. Very happy now 😁 Thanks again everyone for your advice.

@Piaf My 4004 does have 7 pins, so I am all set if/when I decide to take the 2400.2 plunge.  What speakers do you use?  I am interested in trying the Beolab but I know they won't work with the 2400 (at least not without some mods).

Excellent news! Mine didn't but Martin came to my rescue with the 2 additional pins.

You need a Beomaster 2400.2 to make it work. Although I hear the last of the 2400's were so equipped.

Here at BeoWorld the Beomaster 2400.2 is not entirely held in the highest regard (by some) as compared to the Beomaster 4400 or Beomaster 8000 but I can assure you, the Beomaster 2400.2 is a delightful amplifier and WELL worth the "plunge." I wouldn't be comfortable comparing them side by side, note for note, BUT I feel confident you will love the remote controlled Beogram 4004 along with the radio selections.

My 45 RPM issue disappear COMPLETELY with over 100 plays and NO problems. But thanks to YOU if/when the issue reoccurs, I know what to do to correct it. Thank you so much for this post!!!!!! 😁 😁 😁

@piaf  It's been awhile but I did finally get a 2400.2 with remote 😁 You are right, too cool for words.
