Beogram 1900 possible motor issue
in BeoGram · Feb 11, 2023 02:16Thanks for the quick reply Mark! Once the arm lifts off the record, and rests ... dead quiet. This is phono cable (original with new Neutrik plugs). The platter only spins at 33 ... so when pressing "45" it acts the same…

in BeoGram · Feb 11, 2023 01:09Took me awhile to deal with some cartridge retipping and got the MMC6000 back, that is now on the 1900. Sounds really good. But I have two issues. I hope to dig in this weekend, to check. First is I get a hum, mostly lef…

Beogram 1900 possible motor issue
in BeoGram · Jan 2, 2023 21:43Sounds good. So to clarify, once cleaning all the grease off now, I don't need the SAE30 oil. Cool. I appreciate it!

in BeoGram · Jan 2, 2023 21:23Based on your comment, this won't be a good option. Super Lube has PTFE https://www.super-lube.com/multi-purpose-synthetic-grease-with-syncolon-ptfe-21030 What would you suggest?

Beogram 1900 possible motor issue
in BeoGram · Jan 2, 2023 20:22Thanks for that clarification. One point on removal of the motor spindle. Am I correct in thinking that is better removed from the top side?

in BeoGram · Jan 2, 2023 20:09Good to get that confirmation, thanks! I'll order those now and let you know when I'm ready to roll. Since it's coming from EU, who knows how long it will take. What are those felt washers for? I don't see any place for …

Beogram 1900 possible motor issue
in BeoGram · Jan 2, 2023 17:07Bingo! It moves only when I move it. There is no play, or spinning on it's own once I let off. Thanks! I'll get that serviced. I have a synthetic lube called Super Lube that I normally use. I assume this type of motor is…
Beogram 1900 possible motor issue
in BeoGram · Jan 2, 2023 04:18This is an odd duck. I was looking at the linkage, and the +/- Turn dial. Adjusted that and the motor slowly stars to spin. In slow motion, the tonearm swung into place. The speed of the motor slowly increased through th…

in BeoGram · Jan 2, 2023 03:31I appreciate that Mark, thanks! I'll dig in tomorrow. If I don't have the right values on hand, I'll have to order, which means it could be a week to get those back, installed and tested. But I will update this thread wi…

in BeoGram · Jan 1, 2023 12:48Hello, I'm new to this forum, but not to audio forums. Now that I have a couple of Beograms, I figured I should get on this forum and learn a few things, and hopefully be helpful at some point. I got into audio back in t…
