Hi
I see you are listening to "Donald Fragen - Night Fly" :-)
Great music!
Yes, great music indeed if you ask me 🙂
I listen a lot to the music of Fagen/Steely Dan in periods.
The BM1200 and BG1800 manuals (in Swedish) are now scanned and available on the User & Service manuals section of Beoworld.
Here are also some pics from the overhaul, starting with the record deck.
The old motor was broken and both coils measured infinite impedance.
Close up on the bracket for the driving wheel and the wire for the speed fine-adjustment knob. These parts along with the motor mounting bracket was kept from the original motor. The replacement motor that I got come from a BG1000 and the speed adjustment mechanism is slightly different from mine.
The replacement motor is now reassembled and back in the deck.
Back in action. Everything now works fine. After a couple of days of playing and testing to make sure that everything was working, I also ordered a new belt.
I think the old belt had been stretched out too much and didn't manage to get enough pressure on the driving wheel to the motor shaft.
After changing to the new belt with the correct tension, it now starts up and get the correct speed almost directly from start. And it also keep the speed throughout the listening session.
