Beogram 7000 PLAY problem

15 replies
This depends on your version. If it has the RIAA preamp, then it is pin 7. If not and you plug in into the Phono input of your receiver, it is pin 6.
The BG7000 has an RIAA preamp.

Indeed the problem was that I had soldered pin 6 instead of pin 7. Now it works. Time will tell when I revisit that front PLAY button issue. I think the board needs to be positioned very accurately for the pin to hit the conductive spring, so it may just be a matter of misalignment as the board works when I press it with a finger.

I also have a BeoGram 7000 but a different issue. When playing records the little display next to the toner arm has a flashing “33”. The record plays fine and feels like at correct speed but why the flashing as opposed to a constant “33” displayed?

kind regards
If the display is flashing, it means the record is repeated from one time to seven times. If this happens when you only press play once, it’s usually because of a corroded switch.
