Beogram 1900 tonearm bushing
in BeoGram · Apr 30, 2023 21:29Thanks! Yes that might be a solution, removing the tonearm seem complicated to say the least. Find it strange that this seemingly sturdy bushing is cracked, maybe the plastic get brittle by age?. If someone damaged it ac…
Beogram 1900 tonearm bushing
in BeoGram · Apr 30, 2023 08:32Hi, just bought a beogram 1900 in great visual condition, that need a new platter belt. It came with an mmc4000 in near pristine condition, so I guess that made the 80 euros I spent a decent affair. But upon closer inspe…
Beogram 4002 - Cartridge choice EN or CL
in BeoGram · Mar 4, 2023 12:30Thanks! I have no experience with 20CL, but I got an old MMC4000 (predecessor of 20EN) in great condition fitted on a beogram 1700, sound is great! Smooth and warm, but without lacking detail. I prefer this sound over my…
Beogram 4002 - Cartridge choice EN or CL
in BeoGram · Mar 3, 2023 08:53I would go with the 20EN and buy records for the other £100 instead. My reasoning would be that the 4002 probably was factory fitted with the naked elliptical for good reasons. But both 20EN and 20CL was made to work gre…
Beogram 1700 - how to remove platter?
in BeoGram · Feb 27, 2023 21:11Thanks! I've read that the common way of removing a stuck platter is to hit the spindle with a wooden mallet while lifting the platter. The Beogram 1700 feel a bit too delicate, fragile almost, to withstand that kind of …
What are the speakers, b&O lovers use?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 27, 2023 19:01The best B&O speakers I've owned is Beovox S75 and Beolab 4000 (MK1). Still regret selling the S75, they where in pristine condition, with stands, and sounded amazing, especially playing Jazz. I have an extra pair of S75…
Should I Spend 75$?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 27, 2023 16:50the MMC6000 have some kind of special Shibata stylus right, so probably more sensitive to misalignment then a more basic elliptical, but enable better tracing of high frequencies (if that's still valid to expect from a u…
Beogram 1700 - how to remove platter?
in BeoGram · Feb 27, 2023 16:31I see, thanks. It's stuck. Tried to pry the platter from the spindel by inserting two plastic knifes under the platter edge, but then it sounded as if the suspension springs where about to break, and the platter did not …
Should I Spend 75$?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 26, 2023 19:00If I managed to find a 4002 that cheap, I would probably consider having a professional turntable technician (experienced with vintage B&O) take a look at it, might be worth spending 400-500 bucks more to get it to run s…
Should I Spend 75$?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 26, 2023 16:00I'm constantly on the look out for a beogram 4000/4002/4004 on Scandinavian auction sites but no luck so far :). Seem as the prices on these sought-after models have almost quadrupled in the last 4 years. For the wood fr…
Should I Spend 75$?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 26, 2023 14:38wow, 75$ for a Beogram 4002, that's amazing. In northern Europe they go for ten times that amount for a unit in similar condition or worse. In good working condition you have to pay 1000$-1500$ (and it does not even need…
Beogram 1700 - how to remove platter?
in BeoGram · Feb 26, 2023 02:21Hi! I want to change belt on my Beogram 1700 (type 5731) but can't figure out how to remove the turntable platter. It seem as just applying vertical force won't work here (worried I might break something, but either it's…
