Hello Beoworlders,

I have owned a Beogram 5005 since new! Sadly it has had little use and has been kept in a cupboard for more years than I care remember. The model is Beogram 5005 - 5921 serial no. 3250104 and I bought it from Berry's in Holborn.

With the growing popularity of vinyl's I decided to give it a try. The two rubber drive belts had deteriorated and my first task was to replace them - not a particularly difficult task I might add.

But [there is always a but as we know] When the 7 pin DIN lead was plugged in to my lovely Beomaster 5000, and a vinyl placed on the platter the only sign of life was the red speed indicator light! Not good! So I removed the platter again, pressed start,  and noted that the motor near the rear, which I presume drives the tone arm, was rotating. However the motor that drives the platter was stationary with no sign of life, so I guess this is where the problem lies. 

So my question is this. What now?  Can anybody advise me on the best sequence to get everything working again? I would add that my skills are a bit limited!

Anyway many thanks to you and to BeoWorld
