beogram 8002 wire color positions for din board

13 replies

Going by the turntable wiring board diagram here and looking at your wiring, you know that your Right channel is the Red wire and the Left channel is the White wire. 
From the DIN socket you know that Pin 5 is the Right channel and Pin 3 is the Left channel. So check continuity between those DIN socket pins and pads 2 and 4 on the board.  That will tell you which pad to connect the Red and White wires to.

One thing to remember about continuity on those phono signals, they go through a muting relay on the board. So with power off, the Left and Right signals are shorted to the shields (low side of the phono signals).  That is why you would see them measure together.
If you can't tell by the traces between the relay pins (8 and 9) to the respective pads, you might have to unsolder the relay and make your continuity check.  Relay Pin 8 = Left, Relay Pin 9 = Right.

I'm not going to pull the relay because that may cause more problems than it solves. All things being equal I have a 50/50 chance at getting it right and after looking at my original pictures they wire positions improved those odds. I will re post after I get my cartridge and adapter cable.

So the connections are now done and the channels are correct and working.

On to the next issues.

Thanks for everyone help!!
