The 3000 is a good deck - the best deck with an SP cartridge made by B&O. You might be able to get the cartridge repaired by Axel.

Hi everyone, today I decided to take a stab at trying to fix the tuner.

Moving the slider was quite difficult. Frede gave me some good advice to make sure that I removed the string before taking off the front cover. (I would regret this later). After removing what seemed to be about 100 screws of various sizes and having bits fall out from who knows where, I had everything open. It reminded me of when I took apart my first clock, the whole thing exploded and I still did not know how it worked.

Anyways, unfortunately everything inside looked like the day it was made, so after a bit of tinkering, out came the WD-40 and a cotton Swab and I started dabiing at all of the moving parts. Low and behold after a few minutes and a very black swab, everything freed up and now the slider moves like it was new.

Now it was time to put everything back togethor and as you can guess, re-attaching the string was anything but staright forward. I actually did not manage to get it back the way it was, but it should hold. (This part took me about 45 min.)

I still don't know how to attach an antenna as the connection for it is foreign to me. Does anyone know if there is an adapter for the cable Tv connection?

Hi Frede, you are right the plug is the problem.

Any idea where I can get a picture of it so that I know what I am looking for?

If I can't get the plug, is it possible to simply push in the bare wires?

Cheers

Andrew

Hello Frede - do you have similar interior photos of the Beolab 5000?

Sorry No, I have the photo's but not on the web. I might do that one day but right now I have too many activities 😕 - I am planning a redesign of the Beolab site and I will also enclose all the info I have re. different versions and more.

I will be happy to send you a photo ?

Today I received my second Beogram 3000 Type 5228. (This first one arrived smashed). This one is in visually perfect condition. I don't think it looked better the day that it was purchased new (including the dust cover). I have no manual and am now stummped. If I turn the unit to on (any size) and push the Lift button, I hear a click and the little orange light goes on. Nothing else or even noise. Am I missing something or is it dead.                       (it was supposed to be perfect ) All the transport screws have been released.

Thanks for your help

Andrew
