Welcome to Beoworld !

I have had good success by cleaning it all good, putting a drop of acid-free oil on my little finger and
smearing it around the inside of the brass cylinder. Work the piston back and forth a couple of times,
put it back into the Beogram and adjust the air-bypass screw on top for a suitable damping effect.
The lowering should take 1-2 seconds and the needle, obviously, should have hit the record before
the muting deactivates. It's quite sensitive, the final adjustment of the screw needs to be done in very tiny increments.

You will only need to replace the cylinder if damaged and you will need to upgrade to at least silver membership
to post wanted ads, we will appreciate your support.

Dear dillen,

Thank you for your kind welcome and your advices.

I just upgraded for silver membership...but I can't find the part of the site dedicated to offers and wanted ads ?

Regards,

Pierre

go to forums, in the right column scroll down to private sales, private wanted.

If you check ebay there is someone in the US selling a complete arm assembly.

Dear Martin,

A question about speed in 4002 turntables. When I received mine (inheritage from my late uncle), speed used to lower very often, even to stop in the middle of a record, the tonearm resting on the vinyl. I read what is is explained on this forum, i moved the little wheels provided to adjust speed; it solved the problem, but not completely. Of course I changed the belt. I suppose there is al little electrical problem coming from the  old capacitors or something like that. Is there a sort of maintenance chart where I could find the electric components that I have to change in order to solve the problem?

Thank you

Pierre
