Low output - left channel on 5005
in BeoGram · Dec 29, 2007 07:17Hi Graham, I don't have another cartridge to try, that's why I made the suggestion that I would send mine to anyone who wanted to try it. Of course I could also have asked if anyone wanted to send a known good cartidge t…
Low output - left channel on 5005
in BeoGram · Dec 28, 2007 23:54I'm clogging up the forum with questions it seems. Last one on this Beogram I hope. My Beogram 5005 is down in sound drastically on the left channel. From other searches it has been suggested that perhaps the muting swit…
Beogram 5005 right channel output lower than left
in BeoGram · Dec 28, 2007 23:43Here's a couple of images of the switch pulled apart. It is not that difficult to dismantle, or reassemble. It would be great if there is a tech person out there who can confirm my thoughts on the removal of the switch, …
Beogram 5005 right channel output lower than left
in BeoGram · Dec 27, 2007 22:59Okay, I give in on making the switch operate. Could someone please show me which wires to bridge to cut the muting switch out of the circuit. Looking at the wiring diagram, it seems to me that if the switch is out of the…

in BeoGram · Dec 27, 2007 06:02Well, actually my 5005 is lower on the left than the right. Please read my previous post, I'm becoming confused about what and how to check. I'd sure appreciate some guidance/assistance/help. Thanks.
Beogram 5005 right channel output lower than left
in BeoGram · Dec 26, 2007 05:17I made an attempt to " bypass " the switch, inasmuch as I have tried the unit with the switch fully depressed. No joy - there was no sound from either channel. With the switch in the out position, the right channel worki…
5005 - noisy motor, ticking sound
in BeoGram · Dec 25, 2007 06:33Thanks Chris, I've located the switch, on mine it has a black plastic housing, metal cover and a square shaft with white plastic top. The white top is activated by another rod. The resistance measured between sides when …
5005 - noisy motor, ticking sound
in BeoGram · Dec 25, 2007 02:23Merry Xmas Chris, Where is the muting switch critter located in the chassis - what earthly form does it take ? I have no idea what I'm looking for really. Updated my membership status to Silver and downloaded the manuals…

in BeoGram · Dec 23, 2007 18:19Thanks Chris, Haven't heard back from Martin as yet, given the time of year etc..... I also have a muting switch thing happening, so require one of them also. Meanwhile I shall content myself with playing CDs and wonderi…
Beogram 5005 right channel output lower than left
in BeoGram · Dec 23, 2007 17:52I'd be happy to bypass the switch temporarily if I knew the location and the method of bypass. I'm an amateur at this, hence the requirement for the information. As far as dealers in Australia go, there are only a few an…
Beogram TX-2 record deck assistance needed....
in North America · Dec 22, 2007 20:46Seems as though this may be a common problem, my 5005 is having the same problem ( except it is the left channel that's low ). Are parts for these older machines still supported by B & O, or have they decided their obsol…
Beogram 5005 right channel output lower than left
in BeoGram · Dec 22, 2007 20:40I too have the same problem - symptoms the same, one channel very low then when the arm lifts, momentarily, there is the full level of sound. Is this muting switch available anywhere. Part number 7400293 Given that I don…
5005 - noisy motor, ticking sound
in BeoGram · Dec 22, 2007 15:44Strewth Blue !! It is louder without the belt, still with ticking. Is there no way this can be lubricated ? That is a shame and you're correct. A little drop of clock oil on the shaft did nothing. I'd be most grateful an…

What's the best method of cleaning - internally and externally
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 20, 2007 06:47Thanks Dave, that's as comprehensive an answer as any bloke could want. I'm well armed with cotton buds and a formidable array of brushes. I particularly took note of your comment to try to fire the piece up first and fo…

in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 12, 2007 17:25Hi Peter, Thanks for the offer mate. Prior to receiving this message, the seller emailed me and is peeved at me not wanting to take the whole system, so have offered to pay his listing and final value fees, suggesting he…

in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 12, 2007 16:01Isn't there anyone interested in this ? The CDX2 is the only thing I need, the rest isn't worth ( for me ) the extortionate cost of postage to Australia by Parcel Force.
