Mains cable for Beogram 4000
in BeoGram · Jan 26, 2012 18:08Yes i see your point. The cable i had chosen was only £10 for a couple of metres anyway. Im sure the difference cant be heard really with much more expensive cable. What kind of cable would you use for the signal cable? …

Beogram 4000 Noise. Any ideas?
in BeoGram · Dec 27, 2011 10:40Ill have to have a check to see how it spins and get back to you. I think the belt was slipping making the noise. It also explained why it ran smoothly sometimes as this was when it wasnt slipping. I think i may still st…

in BeoGram · Apr 4, 2011 15:37Hi, The same thing happened to me and i tried to glue it and rebuild it for months and it was never the same. In the end i used an arm from a BG4002. Its a bit different but if you are handy with a hacksaw then you just …
Beogram 4000 service?
in BeoGram · Nov 29, 2010 14:55The quote for B&O was £125 just to look at it, but they thought that if they were to do a simple service that it would be included in that. I only mentioned changing the capacitors cause i was told earlier that they are …
Beogram 4000 service?
in BeoGram · Nov 29, 2010 11:05Im based near Camberwell, so a careful drive to Coulsden is probably better than heading to Kilburn or Harrow. I really just want to get it checked out as it was overheating a bit and occasionally making a slight grindin…

Beogram 4000 too hot?
in BeoGram · Nov 18, 2010 18:38Hi, as a follow up. Ive been using my BG4000 sparingly and keeping an eye on it. Ive noticed that there seems so be a bit more crackle now. The cart is in perfect nick, so it cant be that. Also ive noticed that occasiona…
Beogram 4000 too hot?
in BeoGram · Nov 2, 2010 09:59Cheers for your replies guys. Can I ask? Will it ruin my turntable if i don't change them now and wait for it to get worse? I've been using the turntable a few times since and although not for along as before. It doesn't…
