Beogram 8002 Repair
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 16, 2016 19:12I have two working 8002s and one with that vibration issue. My guess is you missed something. Its not getting the correct power to those magnets or it would not vibrate. Did you read Sonavars rebuild? I think he went ove…
Beogram 8002 Repair
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 3, 2016 08:50It sounds like you need to replace the caps. Sonavar has done a very nice job detailing this in case you want to do it on your own. I own 4 of these tables and one of them started to do vibrate like that. It has nothing …
Beogram 8002 Repair
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 7, 2015 13:12You will love that turntable once you get it working. I have 3 of them. If you have to replace the cartridge I would not get too hung up on mmc1, mmc2, or mmc3 I have all three and they all sound about the same. I know o…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Nov 5, 2015 20:24It makes no difference if a record is not on the 8002. It should move the tone arm either way.
Beogram 8002 with vibration and electric like noise coming from Magnets
in BeoGram · Jul 17, 2015 09:57I was reading one of your posts on how you took apart the opto sensor to get to the disc. I almost made that same error but I looked at it and thought "No way, im going to break something poping off those little tabs" so…

in BeoGram · Jul 17, 2015 09:53Good to hear from you sonavor! I see you are busy with new projects. I wish I had your soldering skills and equipment. For now I have to search for someone like you in my area. I found one but he is very busy fixing musi…
Silver top plate and tone arm door on 8002 - Silicon vs 3M tape
in BeoGram · Jul 17, 2015 06:05I'll do the same. The silicon drys slow which is nice so you can move the parts around. But if you need to actually press down (ie the metal is lifting some place, its a bit hard to clamp. So maybe some kind of weight on…
Cartridge comparison - Please have a listen
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 17, 2015 05:45If you have a tape deck in which you can manually adjust bias and also azimuth the tape is very very close to original much more so than tape decks without this feature. A/B test on my NAK are much closer to sounding the…
Cartridge comparison - Please have a listen
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 16, 2015 04:43Yea unless you have a Nakamichi cassette deck that is calibrated, the tape would have to cause a little loss, depending on how you set the bias. My tapes sound exactly like the record but many tape recorders mute the hig…
Silver top plate and tone arm door on 8002 - Silicon vs 3M tape
in BeoGram · Jul 16, 2015 03:13As you probably know the 8002s adhesive tends to dry out causing the lid and top silver cover to loosen. I did one of mine with some 3M tape but on this next one I'm thinking silicon might be better. The tape is almost t…
Beogram 8002 with vibration and electric like noise coming from Magnets
in BeoGram · Jul 15, 2015 21:09I notice the last two digits of 33.33 are blinking very fast during play. And the platter has a vibration to it. (its not scraping) On my working 8002 those .33 digits are rock steady and only blink when you try to slow …

Beogram 8002 with vibration and electric like noise coming from Magnets
in BeoGram · Jul 15, 2015 20:20No its not scraping, just lacks power. I did buy one of those capacitor kits. Its still in the bag. I have 3.5 8002s. Only one of them is working right now. 1. Perfect - was serviced. 2. Almost perfect - has bad solder j…
Beogram 8002 with vibration and electric like noise coming from Magnets
in BeoGram · Jul 15, 2015 19:27Everything is in perfect condition in terms of mechanical. Its metal, the 8002 did away with plastic ones. If I touch the magnets I can feel the vibration from them. The platter spins forever (new lube) it only makes noi…
Cartridge comparison - Please have a listen
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 15, 2015 19:16They all sounded similar to me with the first one being a little brighter. I would say 1st - best 4th - 2nd 3rd - third place 2nd - last. But none sounded horrible. I used my swans 2.1 near field monitors on my computer.…

in BeoGram · Jul 15, 2015 18:35I just put together one of my broken 8002s. Its all working, smooth worm drive, belt good but it seems to lack power. When I turn it on (i don't have a cartridge in it, not sure it that matters) and move the tone arm wit…

how to replace tone arm belt in 8002?
in BeoGram · Jul 15, 2015 14:44Thanks Dillen, saves me from mucking it all up doing things the hard way. So no screws to remove at all? Did not see that latch, will have to look a bit closer. Thanks again!
how to replace tone arm belt in 8002?
in BeoGram · Jul 15, 2015 11:04Wondering the proper way to replace the belt on a 8002. The Manual does not have a section on it. from the pics below it looks like I might be able to slip it under that photo detector at the left end of the screw gear w…
