Hi Kai,

1g for the MMC6000.  I haven't got a working 6000 as it needs to go to Axel.  I would have thought it may be wasted on the BG4000 as it's primarily for 4Ch use which the BG4000 hasn't got.

Adjust the tracking weight accordingly and see what happens.  I'd be tempted to use a different cartridge on the BG4000 such as an MMC20CL or even an EN at the right tracking weights and see how it goes.

Are the transport screws fully unfastened and the turntable level?  What cartridge was used at the repair shop?

This series of decks are notoriously prone to needing adjustments after moving them. This is the main reason that I stopped selling them.

My guess would be a small adjustment of the tracking weight OR a minor adjustment of the servo shutter system.

What Graham said - or a bad lamp in the tracking servo system.

Thanks guys! I picked it up in person and moved it very gently. So that shouldn't be the problem. How can I adjust the servo shutter system?

And: how can I remove the cartridge. I don't want to break anything and the hold seems to break easily.

Greetings

I'll try a different cartridge.

To be a bit more precise: what happens is that the Beogram 4000 plays the record and the needle moves to the left. However, the carriage with both arms on it doesn't move. Therefore the tone arm leans more and more to the sensor arm as the record progresses and at some stage when touching the sensor arm can't continue moving, resulting in an infinite loop.

However, when not playing a record the carriage moves just the way it should.

Greetings,

Kai

The problem seems to be that the carriage just stops moving after the tonearm has lowered. However, it works perfectly as long as no record is playing. Any tips? Thanks!

Sorry, was going to suggest the small belt had come off, but of course it wouldn't move at all then.

Remove the cartridge by wiggling it gently side to side while pulling forwards.

But be very careful as the connector can snap off-I know as it happened to me!

Thanks a lot. I doubt that the cartridge is the problem. It's just that the carriage doesn't move when the tone arm lowers. Apparently it still did that at the repair shop. It also worked the last time I used it prior to repair...

Greetings.

No, the cartridge has nothing to do with it.

However, do check that the small belt attached to the servo motor is doing its job: it should turn the small wheel slowly which then moves the arms along the track. Check it isn't slipping.
