Hi

Could anyone please point me in the right direction for a Beogram 4000 User Manual, In English, Please.

 

I've just had a nightmare experience with buying one off of Ebay; Was supposedly working when it left the seller, but due to their complete lack of caring in packaging the item, it appears to have arrived in Kit form.

To say I'm angry is an understatement, didn't bother to pack the item properly, or even put fragile on the box, subsequently, it's arrived with the buttons detached, the cover cracked, and the two play arms meeting at the ends, rather than parallel as they should be, and the platter doesn't appear to be attached, and the teak surround appears to have become detached, but because I don't know how to move the tone arm carrier, I cannot remove it.

I've taken loads of pictures, and even the guy from UPS couldn't believe the guy sent it in such a state.

So any help would be gratefully received

 

 

Don't bother.  Just send it back for a full refund, including shipping as it is not as described.  If it's that bad, I expect the bearings could be damaged plus a whole lot more trouble if it wasn't dismantled for shipping or secured.  If the lid is cracked, the resale value has plummeted and it will be worth nothing like what you probably paid for it.  Take lots of pictures, including the box it came in and open a case via eBay.

If you decide to keep this trashed deck, the user and service manuals are here on Beoworld for Silver and Gold members.

Thanks Dave

You've just confirmed what I was probably going to do anyway, It really upsets me though, as you rarely see ones in working condition, But the Seller and UPS sorted that one out for me.

I hate it with Ebay; Normally I have no problems, and if I ever send anything, I always make sure it won't move about in the box, but if you saw the pictures I took you'd be disgusted.

I didn't really want to go through Ebay, but I'm going to speak to the guy and see what he says, and if he says to claim on the insurance I took out on the postage, then I'll go the Ebay case route.

Thanks for the reply, and watch this space.

Mine arrived broken but my old dealer fixed it beautifully. The seller had not secured the platter properly which broke loose.

Hi Peter

Thanks for the reply, but I thought I'd post a picture of how this deck arrived with me, I've been offered a full or partial refund, I'm going for the full refund, as I can't imagine how much this would cost to repair; More than I paid I would imagine.

Anyway, Many Thanks for your replies

Regards

Paul

Hi Blydenstein,

after a really long search I found the user manual on the web, in English :)

I would like to share but I don't know how to upload it into the website.

Any suggestion?

Regards

If you send it to 'Peter' by e-mail (click on his name on a thread) he will add it to the Beoworld products section.

EDIT: just checked and the user manual is already here in the products section - available to Gold and Silver members.  It's not in numerical order but it is there.

I must be very stupid as I cannot find this manual in English - there are some training notes but no user manual - any ideas?
