Beogram 3000 motor
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Oct 16, 2019 21:07I used this post as a guide: /forum/beogram/beogram-3000-bearings-and-idler Good luck. I hope yours goes better than mine. I still have not fixed the speed problem, which is always the same: starts at a normal running sp…
Beogram 3000 motor
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 11, 2019 15:16Thanks, Nick! I actually have the reverse problem: motor performs at a near-normal speed as soon as it is turned on, but then speeds up over the next 20 - 30 minutes. I can adjust the speed to 33 RPM when cold, but by th…
Beogram 3000 motor
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 10, 2019 21:36I used this oil: https://www.schaefferoil.com/moly-spindle-oil.html Does it look like it has the appropriate additives? I obtained a small quantity of the oil from a sewing machine repair shop. They find it has the quali…
Beogram 3000 motor
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 10, 2019 15:30[quote user="Dillen"] Wrong oil. The motors were fine when new. Where did you read anything else? At some point B&O issued a tech note about their stock of replacement motors getting old (decades), and that they could no…
Beogram 3000 motor
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 10, 2019 13:31I played the Beogram 3000 again last night, and according to the strobe, it is still running slow at startup (when cold) but speeding up gradually over the first 15-20 minutes. I have read that this was a problem even wh…
Beogram 3000 motor
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 9, 2019 03:47Thanks again for the advice. I built a small vacuum chamber using a hand pump vacuum brake bleeder and a 1/4” brass nipple epoxied into a mason jar lid. It held -25 inches of mercury for 16 hours until bubbles stopped co…
Beogram 3000 motor
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 6, 2019 21:01Thank you for the advice, Martin. I will try again on the motor bearings. Regarding the speed selector lever, mine was bare copper, so I glued a piece of felt to it, then oiled the felt. Is this an acceptable solution in…
Beogram 3000 motor
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 5, 2019 22:00I'll give the food saver a try. What about Zoom Spout turbine oil? Do you think that is the right quality? I can't find specs on it. What if the bearing were treated like solid bronze? I was thinking of using a jewelers …
Beogram 3000 motor
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 5, 2019 19:12Thanks for the quick reply. I didn't have any handy way to pull vacuum, but I heated the bearings to several hundred degrees in synthetic 10w30 oil (I figured if it's good enough for my Volvo 240...), after I soaked them…
Beogram 3000 motor
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Sept 5, 2019 14:17I recently acquired a Beogram 3000 (type 5228, built in 1974) with a motor that barely turned. Using instructions from this forum, I disassembled, cleaned, reoiled and the motor turned normal speed. In fact, it seemed to…
