The sensor arm lamp on my Beogram 4000 gave up recently. I can see the filament has blown. I have a replacement. Can someone provide any tips or procedure to solder the new lamp in place? I can pull out the black plastic front of the sensor arm but there is resistance before I can get to the solder points. I don't want to stress any of the wires. Any advice from people who have accomplished this "'surgery' is welcome.

take a look at this, as it may help you, as the instructional video shows position of the old incadenscent lamp and its wire connections, around time of 14:20 onwards

Thanks for the link. Yes, I’ve made use of Beolover’s excellent videos from time to time, although he does make it look easy 😀
I managed to install a new incandescent lamp. The BG4000 is working great again now. The bulb was trying to ride high so I placed a piece of masking tape to hold it down while I did the soldering. I also slackened and fed the green wire at the back of the arm a mm or 2 so I could get access.
the first pic shows the blown lamp and the second the solder points.
Hi.
Great you managed to make it work again.
it would be helpful to everybody here if you could give details about the bulb you use as replacement.
Thanks.
