Pitch control belt replacement. Beogram 1600 (possibly others)
in BeoGram · Aug 2, 2020 01:05Hi, The belt in mine literally crumbled to bits when I touched it. So, I have no idea what it was like. It is definitely toothed a bit like a zip tie. Is there a source of replacements? If not any ideas on a DIY fix? Tha…
Beogram 1500 ( The 'new' one)
in BeoGram · Jul 24, 2020 01:13The saga continues. Disappointingly, there is no real difference. Some records still get stuck, others play fine. It can be anywhere on the record but seems to get worse as the arm moves to the centre. I disassembled the…

Beogram 1500 ( The 'new' one)
in BeoGram · Jul 6, 2020 21:03Hi Martin, Thank you for the reply. It seems to be free but obviously something isn't right. It would not take much to prevent the arm from moving. It appears as if the arm is standing still until the record revolves a f…
Beogram 1500 ( The 'new' one)
in BeoGram · Jul 6, 2020 01:57I have now swapped out my MMC20EN from my 4002 and that does the same. The stylus 'swings' from 17:00 to 19:00 as the arm tracks. At certain points in the record, the record(s) gets stuck. I put the MMC20E in the 4002 an…
Beogram 1500 ( The 'new' one)
in BeoGram · Apr 29, 2020 07:26I don't have a youtube account. The start sequence is smooth without any sign of binding. It was completely siezed when I got it, so maybe I have missed some gunk near the bearing?

in BeoGram · Apr 5, 2020 00:21[quote user="ProGram"]Before you do this, can you post a video with the starting cycle and playing? [/quote] I think the files are too big. Is there anywhere else I can send them?

in BeoGram · Apr 1, 2020 23:55Thank you. I think the bearing needs lubricating. Hopefully someone has done this before and its possible without dismantling the whole arm.

in BeoGram · Mar 31, 2020 23:28Cleaning up the rails and plastic part has improved things but the stylus still swings from side to side. It has been suggested that perhaps the cartridge suspension has failed?

in BeoGram · Mar 23, 2020 20:26I have one of these on which I cured the sticky lift mechanism and it now runs OK at the right speeds But.. The stylus seems to swing like a pendulum from 6 o' clock to 7 as the record tracks. Occasionally the record get…

in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 23, 2020 20:14Now I have fixed the Beocenter, it became obvious these were bits of trim that fit just above the wooden side panels at the front under the sliders

Beocenter 4600 How to remove the arm?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 22, 2019 22:52The turntable lift mechanism is freed up. I took the locking pin out and slightly twisted the centre brass piece and from the other side pushed the arm rest down. Cleaned and given a dollop of silicone grease and it work…
Beocenter 4600 How to remove the arm?
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 18, 2019 20:11Thanks! Removing the two screws completely freed the deck up and indeed it lifts out. The lid had been stuck with glue. The arm lifting mechanism is jammed up so that's the next fix. I have seen a few threads about this …
