in BeoGram · Sept 9, 2025 17:33Hello, I'm restoring a Beogram TX, and I'm having an issue with the dustcover hinge - it creaks loudly when lifting/lowering it. I've dismantled the hinge several times, tried adding some lubricant between the plastic gu…
Beogram 4000 - servo optical diaphragm adjustment
in BeoGram · Mar 28, 2025 07:50Yes, that is true. But when he does show the arm tracking backwards (almost as a aside), it shows a massive deviation before it starts moving, which mine does as well, maybe as much as 10mm? It is way too much deviation …

Beogram 4000 - servo optical diaphragm adjustment

Beogram 4000 servo belt question
in BeoGram · Mar 20, 2025 22:29Thanks for that. Normally I would agree, but the reason for the question is that the service manual specifically says that both pulleys should be replaced when fitting the new triangular belt to early model BGs. While I …
Beogram 4000 servo belt question
in BeoGram · Mar 20, 2025 12:18Hello, I have an Beogram 4000. Its serial number indicates that it is an early model, i.e. the one with the round carriage servo belt, and indeed the belt currently installed has a round cross section. This can be seen i…

Beovox RL question regarding straps
in BeoVox · Mar 8, 2025 14:44Hello, I have a set of RL60.2 that I got as part of a system. I have noticed however that the speakers do not have the straps (or "ribbons" in the service manual) that wrap around the speakers. As far as I can tell, they…
Beogram 6002/8002/TX etc. platter issue
in BeoGram · Jan 31, 2023 08:35As far as I can measure, the paint seems to be conductive, but to be honest this is probably not relevant to repairing/repainting small areas. The main issue would be colour match. As far as I can see, it appears to be a…

Driving Beolab Penta 1's from Beomaster 5000
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 31, 2021 15:08Thanks Ravsted, Because the Penta datalink input uses two extra pins on the speaker connector it would mean that, if I want to use the pre-out, I would need separate connections for the data and audio - that is not an is…
Driving Beolab Penta 1's from Beomaster 5000
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 31, 2021 13:01I am currently restoring a set of Beolab Penta 1s (actually they should maybe be called 1.5s as they have the crossovers from the later Pentas). Currently the speakers have been done (refoaming midranges mainly, and are …
linking my active penta speakers with a turntable
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 31, 2021 12:37Stoobie is quite correct, the Penta only has power amplifiers, so you would need a preamplifier, unless you can find a turntable with built-in preamp with volume control. Also the displays in the Penta's would not work. …
