Beogram 4000. Replacing tonearm.
in BeoGram · Jul 8, 2014 21:06Yes, it plays. Everything works fine now - the sketch works, I hope it can be of help for some other novice fighting a BG4000 tonearm problem. Problem solved, case dismissed. :)
Beogram 4000. Replacing tonearm.
in BeoGram · Jul 6, 2014 17:05Had an idea that I would try to simplify the sketch of the Beogram 4000's tonearm wiring. To make things easier. This jigsaw puzzle is step one on that road: Will this play? :)
Beogram 4000. Replacing tonearm.
in BeoGram · Jul 6, 2014 02:15I've had the Bg4000 up and running now. It played. But my left stereo-channel was silent. And still is. The wiring became complicated because of the mix of tonearm-models. The donor arm contains only thin copper wire lea…

in BeoGram · Jul 2, 2014 23:36Hi Chris, no I don't think there actually is. But since this is my first time doing this, I feel somewhat uncertain and I am planning everything carefully in detail. No stress. At the same time I am documenting each step…

Beogram 4000. Replacing tonearm.
in BeoGram · Jul 2, 2014 18:59Thanks Bo, Chris and Jacques. Yes, Today is Ta-da! No, I haven't got it up and running yet. Hope I will soon. Next step is to figure out how to draw these microscopic leads through the slide internals in a good manner. S…
Beogram 4000. Replacing tonearm.
in BeoGram · Jul 2, 2014 14:40Solved! The culprit was bad gluing of the whole black plastic contact package inside the arm. The contact package had moved forwards leveling the arms front opening. It should be sitting ½ mm under the edge, inside the a…
Beogram 4000. Replacing tonearm.
in BeoGram · Jul 2, 2014 09:49Continuation. One step closer to a solution. I have "determined" that the two lower contacts on my new tonearm in fact must be one. It seems to be divided in two branches only. When forced together these two branches bec…

in BeoGram · Jul 1, 2014 21:34Thank you! Very interesting! Your problem started when the "stub" broke off after having used a MMC20EN and so did mine. I had no problems demounting my MMC4000 and neither did you, it seems. I wonder if there is a diffe…

Beogram 4000. Replacing tonearm.
in BeoGram · Jul 1, 2014 15:14This is my new tonearm. I have been checking around to get an explanation: Why does it have two lower front teeth, when the old tonearm had only one? I have not been able to verify any ideas of some possible 4-channel mo…

in BeoGram · Jun 30, 2014 15:49Guess you are right. So close, yet so far. Back to square 1. Must think. Thanks anyway for your help this far. :
Beogram 4000. Replacing tonearm.
in BeoGram · Jun 30, 2014 14:30Thanks for this advise, Jacques! My new tonearm has arrived - seems to be unharmed. But: This new arm has four upper contacts for the cartridge just like the old one - but two (2) lower contacts, whereas my old one had j…
Beogram 4000. Replacing tonearm.
in BeoGram · Jun 30, 2014 09:49Thanks for your ideas, Jacques! Q1: I will certainly give this soldering solution some serious thoughts. Btw: Do you clean the insulation off the wires before soldering - or does it get burned off by itself? About Q2. I …
Beogram 4000. Replacing tonearm.
in BeoGram · Jun 29, 2014 20:55Hi Jacques! Thanks for welcoming - the old arm lost communication with the world around it - the whole turntable lost its voice so to speak. I think because of too much changing of styluses - not least by myself, I'm afr…

in BeoGram · Jun 29, 2014 20:34Hi all, I am new to this forum, and my two questions here are concerning my Beogram 4000, which is in a very good condition, exept for the tone arm that needs to be replaced by a new (old) one. The type of arm is the ”di…
