Beogram 4000 no power

36 replies

I received a Beogram 4000 with a Beomaster 4000 for Christmas from a very lovely girlfriend! Only problem is I have just set it all up to find that the Amp works fine although the turntable just wont power up.

 

Does anyone know what could be wrong with it? it was apparently all working before I got it?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

 

The BG 4000 has a fuse (or 2 ??) inside, that is the first thing to check, if the fuse is blown, check the transformer primary and secondary lines before putting in a new fuse.

Thanks Soren,

 

I will check the Fuses tonight and see if any of them are blown.

Hi Soren,

 

I finally had a chance to look into the fuse problem with my beogram 4000, I found one of the fuses was blown. 

I had a look at the transformer primary and even had a new plug rewired as the old one looked vintage. 

The only problem is i need to know what the replacement fuse is? it has T250/250 on it, does that mean i need a 2.5A fuse to replace?

 

Thanks in advance.

No, 250mA slow

Depending on where you BG was sold, you have a US or EU type of fuse, bring it with you the shop, to get the right one, and buy at least 2 pieces.

If the fuse blow again, you will have to check for failures, best to start up with a dim bulb tester, that will save fuses.

Thanks :)

It was originally from the UK, I will buy a few of them as spares.

 

Thanks
