You can simulate the fault by holding the >> button slightly depressed while starting the Beogram.

The slightest touch of the button will raise the tonearm (or keep it from lowering at startup) and have the carriage moving slowly to the right.

Good job !  🤒

Hi Chris

I have just come back from an overseas visit and have been catching up on all of the news.  Glad to see that you have finally had some success, as usual it makes all of the hard work worth while.  I must admit that I would never have related your problem to the operation of those two keys.  I have set up the voltages on them several times but usually after the bulbs have blown.  Would you be able to clarify whether the voltages that you found to be incorrect were too high or too low and by roughly how much?

Well done again

Geoff

Welcome back Geoff!

The voltages were a little to high but not by much,maybe up to 1 volt.On either the forward or the rewind button(sorry,I don't remember which)even when I ajusted the voltage,it was still a bit(about 800mv or so) high but worked anyway.

On the other side,I could adjust it higher or lower than needed.I didn't want to take the switch apart since it worked anyway.

Lack of time or lazyness maybe.Probably the latter.

Thanks again for your help.

Chris
