Hello Beoworld!!

I just inherited a Beogram 2000 along with a Beogram 5000. This is all very new to me... I have a fully auto AT turntable that has never required anything but basic maintenance.

Hopefully the video link works... I plugged in the Beogram and it runs woo! However there is a very loud noise coming from the base when it’s turning, sounds kind of like scraping. Also the arm moves over the record but will not drop down, so I can’t tell if it’s spinning at the right speed anyways. It has an MMC 3 cartridge.

I called a local record shop owner to see if he could help. He said he could take a look for a few which he would credit to any repairs made, which is all fair but he also said that he does not have much experience with B&O and they aren’tyt his favorite to work with. From what I’ve gathered through around the internet I understand that they may require a certain... appreciation. So I thought I would start here, would kind of like the satisfaction of fixing it myself anyways if possible!

Thank you in advance for any feedback... if I sound like a total newbie, I am, but excited about this project and was told by the shop owner that if we can get it going the sound will be unmatched.
