Beogram TX2 "wiggly" tonearm when it coming back to resting position
in BeoGram · Oct 20, 2026 17:04Check that the white tumbler bar at the back sits correctly. It has a spring (it can come off and cause problems), but the bar can also sit to far right so its little arm by the spring cannot go into the groove. Martin
Beocord 5500: dark finish, label positions and prototype reference
in BeoCord · Oct 19, 2026 06:23I agree, it looks painted. Perhaps it was once a mirror-finish panel or it was badly damaged. Inside looks normal, I think. Martin

in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 9, 2026 14:46It's most likely a mechanical problem due to deformation of plastic parts. If near Copenhagen I'll gladly take a look at it. Martin

Beosystem 5000 and the Beocord 5000 Dilemma
in BeoCord · Oct 7, 2026 17:02Check also the ribbon cables running from the power supply to the drawer. They can rub through the insulation on the metal stands they zig-zag through, when the drawer opens and closes. Martin
CD3300 high pitched squeal at the outer tracks during play, radial servo noise??
in BeoGram · Oct 7, 2026 16:57Perhaps someone messed with the laser current (and focus offset if present) adjustments. I see this often when desperate owners or untrained service people panic to get the thing going (instead of merely replacing the se…

in BeoCenter · Sept 13, 2026 08:53Take out the metal bar (two screws). Insert from one end, rotate and slide further, rotate again and slide etc. Martin
beovox redline rl140 speaker refurb
in BeoVox · Sept 13, 2026 08:45Surely not as good as if the original woofers were kept and refoamed. I seem to remember the original woofers being 16 ohms impedance - they certainly are in parallel for 8 Ohms speaker impedance. Martin

End of the road now?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 30, 2026 08:49Put a record on the platter and press play. Sorry, couldn't help it, but I get emails from frustrated owners of newer digital and app-controlled stuff almost daily, and there's absolutely no way for me to help them other…
what is compatible in a beogram 1800 type 5213
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 30, 2026 08:43Not that easy to say, as f.e. Beogram 1000 was made with several different motor types. You can find new motor bearings etc. at Danish Sound Parts. What other internals do you need? Martin
Beogram 1100 33/45 speed selector
in BeoGram · Aug 30, 2026 08:36It's a press-fit. Just pull it off, and try not to distort it, so pull close to the spindle. Martin

in BeoGram · Aug 30, 2026 08:34Did you use the right brand and type of capacitor for C2103? Not any old capacitor will work here, as we have discussed previously on these pages. Martin

What is this part?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 7, 2026 17:06Mystery solved. It's not a B&O part. Actually, it was recognized as a foot for a vintage cassette tape carousel. 🤓 Martin
