OK - I have now dismantled the deck and diode D 17 is physically broken. It was bent over the power transistor (presumably from manufacture) and moving the deck must have caused an impact!

It is a BZX79 15V Zener 5%. The nearest I can find is 16 V which is too much.

Can anyone help. Happy to pay- send a PM

Not sure if this is the problem but it can only help.

D17? Are you sure? It's just a regular 1N4148 in my schematics.

The only 15 volt zener I can find is 1D10, and it's job is to regulate the voltage to the detector lamp. Can't be that critical (although I would replace it with something lower if you can't find the exact value, like 13.8V).

Anyway, a failed D17 makes a lot more sense for the problem at hand.

Hi Its the one pointed to by the biro. The symbol on the underside is for a Zener

Don't blindly trust the markings on the PCBs, they are sometimes incorrect.

But, unfortunately the PCB in your picture doesn't match either version in my 4002/6000 service manual. You probably have an older/newer version that isn't covered there, so I better let someone else take over with the specifics. There are anyway some diodes in the solenoid driver / control circuit that would prevent the arm from lowering if they are broken.

There are many different versions of 4002's.
This particular one looks like a type 5511, 5521 (or maybe 5525) and
there seems to be some confusion in the service manual.
D17 is shown as a zener but listed as a 1N4148 (which is a standard diode).

Judging from the colors of the diodes on your board, D17 definitely looks different than most
other diodes, so my bet is that it's a zener, it would make sense circuitwise as well but we
need the value.

Maybe someone has a similar Beogram to check the exact lettering on D17 ?
Sadly, I don't have access to any at present.

Thanks everyone.

On the power transformer it says GR4002 type 5514. Attached is a picture of the underside. You can see the hole where the chassis screw went and broke the diode! Again the biro points to the position of the diode. Hopefully someone else with a 4002 in bits will have one of these D17's intact as there is not enough to see. What I can see with an eyglass is flesh coloured paint which is similar to the other ZPD diodes

I have the correct service manual and the diode ID17 is listed as 8300053 (B&O part number - not useful!) ZPD 15V 5% BZX 79 15V

It is in the automatic lowering circuit.  In the earlier model, ID17 is not individually given a type - listed as IN4148  SFD184

I do have the circuit diagram if needed.

Think I have found some for sale

Hi PWH

I wish I could help you here, but as Martin already pointed out, there is a discrepancy in the Service Manual.

Can you remove the diode, and try (with a magnifying glass), to see if there are any numbers or letters readable on the diode.

Before you remove it, make sure that you mark the polarity of the diode on the PCB - the cathode is a black ring around the glass tube, and I usually mark the cathode end with a black Permanent Marker on the PCB.

One thing for sure, is that all the other Purple (cathode-side) and Orange diodes on your PCB are 1N4148's. So, if it resembles one of those, it is probably a 1N4148. BUT, if it has a clearly identifiable Black ring, then it's probably a Zener.

Pls note - the color coding I mentioned above is NOT applicable universally today, and today almost all glass-diodes today look the same (Orange with a Black ring), irrespective of type. They will have some imprint of tiny numbers on them to denote the diode type.

Let us know what you can deduce - I have plenty of either of the possible diode types in stock.

One bit of diagram - afraid no picture of circuit board - they are no longer provided - just the grid.

And one of the listing.
