Beogram 4000 no power

36 replies

I wouldn't bother with the dim bulb if the fuse remains intact, as we know there is not a demand on current in this case. However have you know checked the other two fuses (one inside a yellow sleeve)? Looking is sometimes not enough so put a meter across both of them.

Now, just because you received an electric shock does not mean the neutral wire in the plug / cable is not loose! So you need to check that the transformer is energised.
After this, you need to check that the secondary of the transformer is energised with a voltmeter on a.c. volts, or skip that and check there is DC voltage of approximately 24V at the large transistor next to the motor - DO be carefull not to short any wires here!

There is also a second 6V supply too which you should check at this point.

Shouldn't it be the other way 'round?

Quite a challenge to achieve "Less is More" while having the Beovirus.

Thank you, I will have a look and see how I go.

 

Finding the time is the key.

Ok so I have had someone look at it and has said that the transformer is going to need to be replaced, thats if i can source one??

Also the tone arm needs realignment and most moving parts need to be lubricated.

So my question is where do I get a Beogram 4000 5215 Power Transformer from, any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance.

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 ? 🤒

Listen to Martin, I had to ship my Beogram 4000 all the way back to Martin in Denmark only to find out that I have the wrong fuse. My 4000 was delivered in Germany and although reset for 120v no one knew to change the fuse which kept blowing.
