Hi,

I recently got my Beocenter 2200 out of storage - I've finally moved into a house big enough to set it up and use it!

At first the turntable motor was stuck - when I pressed 'phono' it would try to start (you could hear the motor buzz/hum) but the turntable wouldn't move. I took the Beocenter apart and gave the motor a little twist to help it along. It worked, in that the motor now happily powers the turntable, but it now makes a continuous clicking sound when it is playing. I'm almost certain the clicking sound is coming from the motor. 

I've put a video of the problem on youtube - you can hear the clicking noise:

From the noise it seems that the motor "NOZZLE" is touching on the motor body. Check the motor.

 

ciao ciao

Hi,

 

Thanks for your reply Eugenio. I've had a closer look at the motor assembly. The spindle on the motor isn't touching anything, the noise seems to be coming from inside the motor itself. I've put a video here:

I'm assuming that I'm going to need a new motor assembly, including the little circuit board and wires that are attached to it, from a scavenged Beocenter 2200. I don't suppose anybody has one for sale? I know it's not supposed to be one of the finest B&O's out there, but I love the thing!

 

Thanks,

 

Mat

wow! it seems to be a magnet detached from the external body. I don't have the spare part but often appears on ebay.

Remeber that all B&O pieces are B&O.  :)

 

ciao ciao

This is a generic motor which was used on all B&O Beogram decks of the 1800/2000/5000/RX derivatives of the mid 1980's up to the last of the tangential trackers.

They do appear on ebay very occasionally when someone parts out a broken turntable.
