Experience with scratch removal / polishing of Beolab 8000?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 7, 2021 13:50Don't do it!! They are anodised and any use of abrasive will remove the anodised layer and it will stick out like a sore thumb.

Noise on a Beogram 9500 and BeoCenter 9300
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 11, 2020 15:58[quote user="kimk"] Thanks for your response, I started to sense it was poor cables that I got. Will try them out. While at it, what pre-amp would you recommend for a BG9500?. Obviously, not a simple question, but say I …
Beogram 7000: No datalink, no sound, all play functions normal
in BeoGram · Oct 25, 2020 15:44Someone may have disabled the RIAA to enable the Beogram to work with a Phono input. I once bought a BG4500 that had the legs chopped on the power supply transistors on the pre amp. I just soldered them up again and it w…
need help with beogram cd4500 - i replaced 2103 cap which helped temporarily but now dead again
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 21, 2020 18:09I wouldn't do anything until you have fitted the correct cap. Some non Vishay caps do work some of the time. If your cap is black then it is not one of the good ones. The motor will not turn until the laser finds focus.

Beocenter 9300

Beogram 5005 scraping noise
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 6, 2020 21:41If it is a scrape type noise then raise the rear of the chassis slightly. If it is more of a click then re-position arm G as it may be rubbing on the inside of the skeleton wheel.
