I promise you one thing, if you watch this video and all thoughts of a 4002 will disappear. I guarantee it, especially since you have a Beomaster 2400.2.

Well Jeff, I didnt take your advise, just bought this BG 4002, will be using it (if I get it working) for my Beolab 5000 system (if i get it working)

Nice addition Søren. What is the Type number on it?

I dont know John, I was the only bidder and a low bid, so I practically know nothing about it, the seller mentioned that it probably needs a new power supply, if he knows that, it will probably have more failures so I will have to wait until I get it in my hands, with luck before Xmas

Hi Søren,

Suffice to say I sincerely hope that you will enjoy your 4002….. truthfully, I know you will.

Had you shared my “obsession” with the remote feature, you would have chosen otherwise. None the less, the 4002 is a marvelous turntable and it is long overdue that you had one.

Had a fantastic concert with my Beogram 4000 last night after dinner interrupted at the end by a horrendous SCREACH from the lack of proper ground.  Yea, you have heard this old story several times; I need to run a proper ground to make up for the previous owner’s crude exchange for a DIN connection favoring the RCA connections.

A quick and intense message of the connecting area reduced the SCREACH to an acceptable level.

Unlike you; who jumps into any problem area with a cavalier, yet knowable demeanor; I am terribly afraid to mess with something that works so very well, generally speaking.

Had I known about this ground issue, I would have mentioned it to Martin when I sent him my 4000 for repair.

As it was we were so focused with the fuse issue that the ground problem went unnoticed.

Back to Søren’s new 4002. As my dear mother would have said, “Enjoy it in good health.” Whatever is wrong with it, I absolutely KNOW that you can fix it.  And mom was right, enjoy it! 🙂

Jeff

A Beogram 4002! Nice one! As Jeff says, you will enjoy it, no doubt about that.

As for me, I have already fixed my Beogram 1800, just the usual seized-up motor and a bit of cleaning. I guess it was a bargain because I acquired it for ber money really. 

Perhaps the second most beautiful deck right after my 4000, second to none of course. It has taken the place of the Beogram 1000 as the runner-up in my - very dynamic - collection.

Perhaps the only thing "wrong" with it is the transport screws are still engaged.  Good luck with shipment.

Finally bought one, and now I understand all the loving stories about it. What a wonderful piece of equipment. With a pair of beolab 8000s it`s the perfect minimalist setup.

For the stunning amount of 10 euro`s it was not expensive, but unfortunately it did not come with its foot. Maybe I will get a wall bracket for it.

The picture quality is great, as is the sound

Took some time but now they are home in Mexico city, here the BG 4002 as I received it from my nephew in Torreon, he picked it up in McAllen TX.

I think I have a winner here, no test done will follow in a different thread

And here the other marvel Beocord 1200 RtoR, got it like this from my nephew

Look at this wonderful wood grain

Nice additions Søren. Now that you have the BG4002, what is the Type number on it?
