The rear adjuster can be reached far easier and with less danger of ruining something by simply removing the plastic trim (the black thing with Beogram xxxx on it) at the rear of the dustcover (only requires the removal of 2 screws and just lifts off!).

Just as an aside, if you need to lift the hood/bonnet, every one I have ever seen have been fitted with a stay/prop which is stored at the rear left corner when not in use.

 

Thanks, I will remember these points next time 🙂

Spiros, you might still consider trying it yourself as the above advice makes it much easier - the service center will probably charge you quite a bit, and it's always somewhat risky to move these decks anywhere!

Hello again, I tried to adjust the two out of the three (I did not remove the cover yet) screws but no luck. Same behaviour. The platter goes up and down. As a result I think, without being an expert, that the problem is that the subplatter has been deformed. I will try few more times and I might finally end up at the B&O service. The best would be if I had another subplatter to test it. Thank you very much again for the valuable advise! Regards, Spiros.

Misadjusted leaf spring(s) will not cause for a wobbly movement. It will
merely have the platter sit too high, too low or off horizontal.
If the platter itself is still nice and flat I'm sure the problem is with the subplatter.
As others suggest, it wouldn't be the first time we see this.

Thank you Martin. I agree with your point. I should be able to get the BG to an authorized B&O service center. Can the subplatter be fixed? or I will need to find another one? I will inform everyone of the outcome.

Thank you again to all !!!!

Hello again ! Finally I got my 4500 to my local authorized B&O dealer. After all the required checks the problem was clear. You had guessed it. (Martin I think). The subplatter has been deformed. The problem was that during shipping the platter had been put under the hood wraped in a piece of paper and not under the beogram. Not a lot but enough to wobbling up and down. The technician checked with B&O in Denmark and the part is not available from B&O anymore.  So what can I do? Is there someone know where can I find one used in very good condition (or new?). Any idea of the cost? Is there any way to have this one fixed? Please let me know since I would like to fix it or find another one. Thank you for your helpful assistance ! Regards, Spiros.
