Thanks for the welcome and the advice.  Just in case I should probably have an extra belt anyway.  I'll look over the forum categories to find out how to order from you.  At the moment, I know nothing about the store I mentioned in the USA.  By the way, I just found the owner's manual and the safety booklet. 

Thanks for explaining how to do that Dave.

Now there does seem to be a slight problem.  I hear a hum when the needle first hits the record and before it gets to the music.  Later it is still there, not just as apparent.

Hi Martin, thanks for helping me troubleshoot this.  When I lifted it there is still a buzz or hum.

My pre-amp has a phono1 and a phono2 input and the B&O is in phono1 right now.  I also have a Thorens TD160 that I can try plugging into the same input.  OR, switch the B&O from phono1 to phono2.  I think my preamp is OK because the CD and FM tuner seem fine and with no hum.  Let me know if that info might be useful.

It might not be Lee, and thanks for the suggestion, I'll check that as soon as I can.

WOW Lee, you might have the solution!  I just checked and the ground wire on the TT is hanging loose.  It's a bit of a bother to get at the back of the preamp but that's the first thing I'll do.  Much appreciated!!

Lee, you nailed it!  I didn't remember there was a ground wire [doh].  The only snag was the connector wouldn't fit onto the ground post on my preamp (McIntosh C28).  So I had to crimp it with some small pliers to make one end of the U-shaped sides narrow.  BTW, for those of you unfamiliar with this preamp, when you back the tightening nut off the post there is a small hole, too small for the way the B&O ground wire ends come.  The hum is finally gone and my ~30 year old TT is up to snuff.
