BeoSystem 2500 tape problem
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 1, 2022 12:13Hi. Just to add my 5 cents suggestion... It's much easier to work on this mechanism if you desolder the 4 pins that hold the PCB to the solenoids on the sides, allowing the board to slide away and giving you access to th…

in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 31, 2014 01:41If we're talking about comfort, modern music devices are hard to beat. Remote controls and huge music databases are so handy and convenient. But IMHO, unless it's uncompressed music (16 or 24 bits, 44.1/48/96 Khz) it's n…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 30, 2014 18:45[quote user="joeyboygolf"] Perfectly possible that 4D1 was an IR led. It was on model that I once had. [/quote] Yes, it's possible. The new LED is very bright, I don't remember seeing such a light from under the arm. May…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 30, 2014 01:01Finally I've made it. It works. It's been a long, hard battle but I won. Replacing the broken LED with a new one fixed the random thing... the arm didn't lower any more 🙁 I knew for sure there was some bad contact somew…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 3, 2014 10:09Oh, I got another important question for you guys. The sound of my MMC20EN is pretty dark... no high end at all. Could it be a bad symptom ? I'm using my old Marantz 1040 for testing, and I know the RIAA preamp is fairly…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Aug 3, 2014 10:09Hi guys. It's been a long time... I had a lot of work and I didn't find much time for my Beogram: I had to fix some of my musical instrument first. But last week I took it off the shelf and put my full attention on it - …
Beogram 4000 - what to pay?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 8, 2014 17:08Well, it depends also on your craftsmanship… If you're ready to fix electronic and mechanical faults, polish the lid and the wood until they shine like new, and take care of your turntable like a baby, you can find good …

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 17, 2014 00:25Thanks to Martin, who sent me the schematic diagram, my 4004 is slowly improving 🙂 I noticed that the arm transport was slow and impossible to align with the trimmers, so I replaced all 4 transistors that drive the arm …

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 15, 2014 15:38Hmmm. I just upgraded my membership to Silver and downloaded the service manual for my BG4004. Unfortunately, it's the one I got already… the BG4002 manual with an addendum about the differences from 4002 and 4004. No sc…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Feb 14, 2014 14:58I just bought the drive belt. Dillen wrote he'll send it out tomorrow. I can't wait... The turntable has a strange behavior, by the way: when I press Start, the arm travels to the right position (30 or 17 cm) then return…
