Hi All,

 

I've cracked the case. It turns out that the combination service manual is riddled with errors. Many of the measurements given apply only to the Beogram 8002, not the 8000.

 

I have got a copy of the service manual for the Beogram 8000 specifically and it says only to adjust the platter till flush with the top. This I can do. It also incorrectly gives a sensor arm height of 19.5mm when it should be 23mm for the Beogram 8000.

 

Please see the attached screen capture of the correct service manual.

 

Cheers,

Gnab:

Which part of the case did you crack?

The 8002 uses a completely different platter, different stylus and tone arm than the 8000. 8002 platter has no rubber ribs.

Hi Derek,

What I realized was that you are not supposed to adjust a Beogram 8000 for a 2mm platter height. The manual I had claimed to cover the Beogram 8000 but many of the specified measurements were for the Beogram 8002.

 

A review of the dedicated Beogram 8000 manual and the beolover website revealed this to me.

 

Hence I could adjust the platter height to 2mm because you're not meant to.

 

Cheers,

Gnab
