Beogram 8002: Help Reinstalling Circuit Board
in BeoGram · Jan 5, 2012 13:52Thanks Geoff. You were right about the spring; it holds the display in place. (Thanks to Dillen too for letting me know.) I found that it's best to hook the spring to the side of the control panel with it removed and the…
Beogram 8002: Help Reinstalling Circuit Board
in BeoGram · Dec 28, 2011 22:10I recently received my recapped and soldered board from Martin (a.k.a. Dillen), and I can't wait to get my 8002 working again! But I'm stuck at two parts of reinstalling the board and control panel (of course, I didn't t…
Odd pitch problem with Beogram 1800
in BeoGram · Aug 13, 2011 13:57Ok, here's an update: Even after adjusting the speed, I'm still getting a weird pitch problem. It's almost like something is slowing down the platter at a specific point in each revolution, a speed "hiccup" if you will. …
Odd pitch problem with Beogram 1800
in BeoGram · Aug 3, 2011 14:09Great! I'll check the speed that way and see if it tells me what's going on.
Odd pitch problem with Beogram 1800
in BeoGram · Aug 3, 2011 13:37Really? I only saw the adjustments on top. Where are they located underneath?
Odd pitch problem with Beogram 1800
in BeoGram · Jul 22, 2011 16:17The Speedstrobe uses a quartz-locked light that doesn't depend on the AC line frequency, so the hertz isn't an issue. I had checked and adjusted the speed with the chassis plate off (so that I could access the speed adju…
Odd pitch problem with Beogram 1800
in BeoGram · Jul 18, 2011 17:54I hope some of the Beogram brains here will have an educated guess for what's causing this problem. . . . As the subject line says, my friend's Beogram 1800--which I had previously brought back to life with the help of t…
Beogram 1800 + Cambridge Audio 640P or Musical Fidelity V-LPS?
in BeoGram · May 31, 2011 17:47A buddy of mine has just started to get back into vinyl. He's using the later version Beogram 1800 with an MMC5 rebuilt by Axel. I was using this very table for a few years, pairing it with a Musical Fidelity V-LPS. I re…
Setting and Verifying Tracking Force on an 8002
in BeoGram · Dec 28, 2010 09:27Thanks, Phil. I managed to get a tiny screwdriver in to adjust the counterweight (you're right that's a PITA! with the cover in the way). The balance was off a bit, and so I adjusted it until the tonearm floated. Voila!

Setting and Verifying Tracking Force on an 8002
in BeoGram · Dec 27, 2010 14:08Not sure if other B&O tangential decks are the same as the 8002 with respect to their being a slider on the tonearm to adjust tracking force, but I'm wondering if there's anything you can/should do to verify that it's se…
Beogram 8002 7-pin to RCA cable hum?
in BeoGram · Dec 6, 2010 09:28The only turntable I have to compare it to is a Beogram 1800 using a rebuilt MMC2 (Axel). Even using an original MMC3 of unknown condition, the 8002 sounds significantly better, especially on vocals.
Beogram 8002 7-pin to RCA cable hum?
in BeoGram · Dec 5, 2010 21:14That did it, Jacques! Thank you! Ah, now it sounds wonderful. 🙂
Beogram 8002 7-pin to RCA cable hum?
in BeoGram · Dec 3, 2010 19:21So today I bought a 5-pin female to RCA male adapter (from a B&O store) for the B&O 7-pin to 7-pin cable that came with my 8002. I unscrewed the two extra pins from one end of the 7-pin cable, attached it to the 5-pin fe…
Best MMC Tangential, after the 8002?
in BeoGram · Dec 3, 2010 11:11Thanks, though I'd like to make my own or have a cable company I've used before make me a custom cable, which is why I need to know what the pin assignments are.
Best MMC Tangential, after the 8002?
in BeoGram · Dec 3, 2010 10:52Well, I went ahead and bought an 8002 off of ebay! It arrived the other day, and so far so good: Cosmetically, it's a 9 out of 10, and everything powers up fine. Only catch is that I still haven't listened to it because …
Best MMC Tangential, after the 8002?
in BeoGram · Nov 12, 2010 17:59I'd definitely consider a 6002, but I see those almost as rarely as I see 8002s! What would be people's next picks after the 8002 and 6002? Again, this is for MMC carts. Adam, I'm in the U.S. Might be too far to safely s…
Best MMC Tangential, after the 8002?
in BeoGram · Nov 12, 2010 13:55So I have a MMC2 that I'd love to pair with a nice tangential table, however, 8002s are scarce and expensive. What would be next in the pecking order in terms of sound quality and durability?
Distortion Problem, Beogram 1800
in BeoGram · Nov 5, 2010 23:02So the distortion didn't disappear until I pushed the tracking force up to 1.6 g for my MMC2. There's still some inner groove distortion in the last song on each side, but that's to be expected.
Distortion Problem, Beogram 1800
in BeoGram · Nov 2, 2010 13:24By tracking force weight, do you mean use a stylus force gauge, such as the digital type? If so, can anyone recommend a brand they like?
