It sounds like you need to replace the caps.   Sonavar has done a very nice job detailing this in case you want to do it on your own.

I own 4 of these tables and one of them started to do vibrate like that.  It has nothing to do with lubrication.  It has to do with improper electrical signals being presented to the eddy current magnetic drive device.   

My guess is some of the electronics have drifted out of spec.   Once in spec that turntable is the best.

Little update. I re-caped the unit and re-soldered the bad's for any loose connection. get a nice respond from the needle, it works and every button works as should. But the vibration of the platter still remains. I cleaned the connections and re-lubricated everything that's needs to be re lubricated. Oh and the last two digits flash still what indicates that the platter does not get speed it needs. I'm totally out of ideas what to do next. 

Does anyone has the same problem and how you solved your problem?

Regards

I have two working 8002s and one with that vibration issue.   My guess is you missed something.  Its not getting the correct power to those magnets or it would not vibrate.    Did you read Sonavars rebuild?   I think he went over the path leading to the magnets.  

If I ever get around to fixing mine I will post what it was.

Hello, were do u buy this tool ?

Which tool?

greetings John,

I am in the middle of fighting my BG8000, showing various problems.

looking at your pic from inside the MPU box I see the red and blue wire going from the small PCB in the right hd corner down to C28 - the 47uF cap -

however it seems to be connected differently to my BG8000.

look at how my red and blue wire is connected to the 47uF cap !!

have a look at the uploaded pic of mine - would you care to comment ?

BTW, I measured those voltages across my transformer and get basically the same readings !

the 5VDC rail has been re-established but the +/-15VDC is missing - I am waiting for some TIP-32 replacements.

cheers

Hi Alf,

I would really you rather post this question under my Beogram 8000 Project as the post you made is for the Beogram 8002. They are similar for sure but since there is already a Beogram 8000 Project with pictures of these components you are asking about it would be better to put the question here.

Here is my answer to this question on the other thread.

Regards,
John

Looks to me as if the cap is in the wrong way.

Apologies John,

i wasn't aware in that moment that you had this one posted as well !

but reading through it again delivered the answer as this can indeed to be found in the SM !

best

ALF

No, cap is correctly connected !
