Beogram 3000 Type 5228 too slow
in BeoGram · Feb 22, 2021 21:23I’m by no means an expert on this field. I would just say that oiling with the correct oil seems to be the correct/best way to cure the speed problem. I bought the oil on eBay (from UK). Kim

in BeoGram · Feb 7, 2021 20:53It's funny how this old vintage gear is freshened up and played again. They are so beatutiful and the sound is... good, natural and "just right" and different from the perfect sound from todays cd's/music streaming. I wi…

in BeoGram · Feb 7, 2021 12:53Menahem - thanks. I really appreciate the TT. It was my fathers when new, and he recently gave it to me when it had stood still for 20+ years of no use. It means a lot to me as I can remember it from my early childhood (…
Beogram 3000 not muted
in BeoGram · Feb 6, 2021 17:21Ok, so it is not a grounding issue. This is the back of the turntable and the tonearm base (I believe) with a red square: Could it be that the switch should be cleaned with contact cleaner? (how can I get to the it witho…

Beogram 3000 Type 5228 too slow
in BeoGram · Feb 6, 2021 13:49So... the problem is now resolved completely 😁 I went through the whole cleaning process with acetone again (this time also including the felt rings). After I received the new oil that Martin suggested, I did the same o…

in BeoGram · Jan 23, 2021 13:38Thanks. So I ordered Mobil Velocite 6 oil from UK - should be arriving before 10th of February.. I wonder if I should clean the bearings in acetone again? As well as the felt rings? Kim

in BeoGram · Jan 22, 2021 19:22Hi Today I went trough a couple of things. Regading your suggestions: 1) Leverarm still has the small plastic/cork piece, so I think it is fine. Idler wheel is spinning without any kind of noise. and 2) Furthermore a new…
Beogram 3000 Type 5228 too slow
in BeoGram · Jan 21, 2021 17:45Ok, so I got the contacts cleaned (carefully) with Kontakt 60 - they look like new now :) I let it sit for a couple of hours and reassembled. Reassembling was NOT an easy task with all the tiny bits (escpecially the ball…

in BeoGram · Jan 20, 2021 16:53I removed the motor again and made a small video clip to show the very easy movement of the pulley. But is it supposed to be moving freely up/down when I pull it? Please see video clip: https://youtu.be/VZ0ZzZsaUb8

in BeoGram · Jan 20, 2021 08:58Hi Menachem, That was also interesting. I didn't read about that before. The voltage selector was never touched before, I believe, but I will definitely check it and spray with contact cleaner. I will write back. Thanks,…

in BeoGram · Jan 20, 2021 08:40Hi Christian, Thank you for all suggestions and link - I didn't see that one earlier. Re. felt washers - I remember them being quite hardened, but maybe that doesn't matter. I didn't try the 45 RPM setting very much, but…
Beogram 3000 Type 5228 too slow
in BeoGram · Jan 19, 2021 22:00I will respond to my own post. I read in another thread, that Dillen also suggested that the felt reservoirs should be cleaned in acetone and soaked with oil. Although I already soaked them in oil, I let them dry/drip of…
