Another CDX repair question
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 24, 2020 04:08I haven't really found that it is intermittent in the sense that it will sometimes play a cd with the defective board. Only that sometimes it plays for a few seconds and the "?" on the display and sometimes it just spins…
Another CDX repair question
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 23, 2020 00:13UPDATE - This morning I tested it and it was back to the original symptom of playing for a few seconds then the "?". So, I pulled the servo board and put the working board back into it and it plays perfectly. I double-ch…
Another CDX repair question
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 22, 2020 16:18Thanks Nick, yes I've thought of many of those things, I just didn't spend any more time on it after the 2nd one failed.... got frustrated and went home, LOL! I agree that caps can check good in circuit and still be bad …
Another CDX repair question
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 22, 2020 06:53Hey Nick, Well, I seem to have made some progress! I checked the caps on the Decoder Board 05 and while they are Philips, they all checked OK in circuit. So I moved on to the Servo Board 04 and found that the Philips axi…
Another CDX repair question
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 19, 2020 18:02Hi Nick, I'll check out the caps and solder connections on the decoder board and report back. I appreciate your time and passion for this stuff! I'm the same way! Take care, Greg
Another CDX repair question
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 18, 2020 17:58Nick, so the caps on the Laser PCB 02 were all Nichicon radials except one Philips axial. I replaced them all with good quality Nichicons. I may have misunderstood your previous post. I thought you said if they were Phil…
Another CDX repair question
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 17, 2020 18:03Hi Nick, thanks for the reply....I'll check the disc motor bearing alignment in the manual and see if it helps. It does seem like a disc motor issue as this is usually the cause of CD players that don't track well toward…
Another CDX repair question
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 17, 2020 17:55Sonavor, Thanks for the reply. I'm working with them apart, but I'm pretty sure the door switches are engaged otherwise it wouldn't attempt to play a disc. I'll double-check them though. Thanks, Greg
Another CDX repair question
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 15, 2020 03:51Ok, so I replaced the caps on the u-shaped laser servo PC boards (even though they checked OK) and still have the same problem with both units. As mentioned in my original post, the first unit spins the disc but won't re…
Another CDX repair question
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 13, 2020 18:04Hi Nick, thank you for the reply. I agree that these CDX machines do sound wonderful! I did de-solder and feed thin wires through the griplet points and confirmed continuity from top to bottom of the boards so I don't th…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Apr 6, 2020 18:01Hi, Hope everyone is doing well! I'm just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on these issues before I give up on them? Thanks, Greg
Another CDX repair question
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 18, 2020 18:00Hi everyone... I tried reading up on the common issues on these machines before posting, but I'm stuck on a couple issues. So, I have two of these on the bench right now. One is a customer's and one is mine someone gave …
Beogram 3000 (type 5228) tone arm won't drop
in BeoGram · Jun 15, 2019 00:32Hi Martin, the drive motor works fine in manual mode and the platter turns, however pressing lift doesn't engage the gearing to lower the tone arm onto the record. Pressing Lift lights up the orange light but the relay d…
Beogram 3000 (type 5228) tone arm won't drop
in BeoGram · Jun 14, 2019 17:27Thank you for the reply. The turntable does not start when pressing the lift button. Only the orange light will light and the relay does not engage. If the relay would engage then the turntable's automatic start and lift…
Beogram 3000 (type 5228) tone arm won't drop
in BeoGram · Jun 13, 2019 21:48HI, yes if I manually engage the relay the mechanism does lower the tone arm properly. Basically the relay does not engage when you press Lift. Therefore the automatic function does not work, nor does the tone arm lower …
Beogram 3000 (type 5228) tone arm won't drop
in BeoGram · Jun 13, 2019 21:16[quote user="solderon29"] The most common cause of this is the microswitch under the lift button.It either becomes oxidised,or needs to be adjusted for correct operation. The relay's are very reliable. The start procedur…

in BeoGram · Jun 12, 2019 00:31* sorry for double posting, but I'm not sure which forum gets most views.... I also put in the Workbench forum Hi everyone. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on this one? When you press the lift button, the solenoid …
Beogram 3000 (type 5228) tone arm won't drop
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 10, 2019 21:35Hi everyone. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on this one? When you press the lift button, the solenoid that kicks the lever over doesn't engage....therefore the gear that turns to lower the tone arm doesn't move. I…
BeoSound 3000 - doors stay open when wall mounted, close when sitting on table top
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 19, 2018 20:19Thanks, yeah I thought about that, but I checked for light sources or anything that might be interfering with it at the house. Basically, it's been in the same place at the house for years and never had a problem. I'll k…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Dec 19, 2018 17:30Hi, sorry its been so long to reply, but this one has been frustrating. I took it apart and cleaned the doors and the interior casing. Tested it while apart by leaning it forward well beyond where it would be when wall m…
