Beogram 6500 broken plastic piece

14 replies

Hi

I just got this beogram. On opening it I saw the white cable was loose. I then saw a small white plastic piece lying inside. Seems to be a holder for the cable. Can't figure out where it goes even with the schematics. Any ideas? What do I do if it's now broken off? 

Thanks

Ben 

I have just been able to find out where it goes. Going to be very difficult to repair :(

I managed to find a thread on using  a screw to repair it. So hopefully I get it right.

I have the same problem with my Beogram 5500 do you need to remove the carrier to put the bolt in?. If you or someone could send the link to this repair i would greatly appreciate it Weeybx! Thanks wokbelly

I have the same problem..

I have inserted a screw which is sound but now the pully cable appears to be too short!!! I have re-rigged it again and again but to no avail. The spring is now being pulled to double it's previous length, the cabling is too tight and the tonearm misses the record regardless of adjusting the cam. 

What am I missing?

There must be some wiring of the string that is incorrect. Could you post images of how it is wired ?
