Great, thanks for all your help.

I will order them now and let you know how i go when i receive them and put them in.

If you live in a 110-120V area and moved the Beogram from a 220-240V area, you will have to set the mains voltage
on the switch (unpowered) and change the fuse accordingly.
If 250mA was correct for use in 110-120V areas, you will need 500mA to stop the fuse(s) from blowing in 220-240V areas.

Remember Ohms law ? 🤒

Hi Martin,

The person I purchased the set up from purchased it in England in 1972, he later moved to Australia and brought it over with him.

He said he has used it while he was here so i'm just replacing the fuse that is already in it. I guess if they blow then I will up to the 500.

Thanks 

Hi Guys,

 

I replaced the fuses but no luck, still no power!

Any idea of the next thing to check? anything you would replace? Transformer? how do i test it?

 

Thanks.

Did the fuse blow again ?
Did you replace the fuse with a correct value or "just a similar" ?

Martin

No the fuse didn't blow again.

The fuse cover says '2x0,25A.TRAG'

So the fuse I ordered was this one -

Just one question: did you unplug the deck with the carriage to the left?

If so, press STOP to switch it on! Otherwise it will not wake up!

I just tried what you suggested and no luck.

There is power getting to the fuses as I stupidly touched them and got an electric shock, this is getting frustrating! I have had this record player since Christmas morning and haven't been able to get it to power up.

Does Anyone have any other ideas as to what the problem might be?

Thanks
