Easiest way to relubricate BeoCenter 2300/2500 top glass slides?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 23, 2021 21:26Looking at your video, my first thought is that the belt is slipping. If you haven't already, take a look at beoparts-shop and get yourself a new belt. https://www.beoparts-shop.com/product/belt-for-beomaster-6000-ouvert…
Beosound Ouverture CD, ratchet and backwards spin
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 8, 2021 21:26Many thanks for your insights on the topic. Since the system is put back together, polished up and found its place on a kitchen sideboard already, I don't believe I will do any measurements right now. I believe the drive…
Beosound Ouverture CD, ratchet and backwards spin
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 7, 2021 12:33Hi Manfy, No, I did not recap the servo board (yet) since it currently works. I know it is just a matter of time but I have not investigated yet which would need a replacement. There is no "kit" available that I know of …
Easiest way to relubricate BeoCenter 2300/2500 top glass slides?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 5, 2021 22:48I just performed this manoueuvre on my Ouverture. Only a very small portion of the upper guides are visible but it actually seems like they are not really "used" the same way as the lower ones. I believe that with the do…
Beosound Ouverture CD, ratchet and backwards spin
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Jun 5, 2021 22:33An update. The CD I used for testing seems to be problematic. No scratches and no issues in other players but with this particular drive/laser it causes the strange behaviour I have reported. Shifting to other CDs (can't…
Beosound Ouverture CD, ratchet and backwards spin
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 27, 2021 19:35For some reason, it tries to move the laser further than to the top. That is the rattling noise heard. So it seems to not care that the home switch is triggered. I trust your deductive skills here. It means that one or m…
Beosound Ouverture CD drive types interchangeable?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 27, 2021 15:33@manfy, -5V confirmed on P67 between pins 1 and 3 (GND)! 🙂 Now I know that I have the possibility to switch CD drive type if needed! Many thanks to you both, Bill and manfy!
Beosound Ouverture CD drive types interchangeable?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 27, 2021 13:15Bill, yes, that is exactly how I interpreted it! But thanks for clarifiying!
Beosound Ouverture CD drive types interchangeable?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 27, 2021 09:33Excellent news, Bill! That was my thinking as well. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. manfy, I saw these notes in that service manual too but could not make sense of if anything needed modificati…
Beosound Ouverture CD, ratchet and backwards spin
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 26, 2021 13:00My first thought was that the laser carriage end position switch engaged to late, causing the laser motor to try to move it too far but I cannot find anything mechanical suggesting that this would be the case. It engages…
Beosound Ouverture CD, ratchet and backwards spin
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 26, 2021 12:50I'm very greatful for your advice! I will see if I have probes small enough to do the measurements you suggest! Also, it seems to try to move the laser carriage up despite the "end position switch" engaging at the top (m…
Beosound Ouverture CD, ratchet and backwards spin
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 25, 2021 21:24Thanks, that is an interesting find - even though I don't really know how to measure this. The strange thing is that it does not happen all the time. Only when selecting the first couple of tracks. So it does feel a bit …
Beosound Ouverture CD drive types interchangeable?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 25, 2021 10:30Are the CDM12 and the CDM4 drives with their included interface board interchangeable without any other modifications on the Beosound Ouverture (and maybe Beocenter 2300/2500)? I am having problems with the newer CDM12 I…
Beosound Ouverture CD, ratchet and backwards spin
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 23, 2021 11:54I have the newer "straight line" CD mechanism which was completely dead (no focus). After replacing the laser, it works again - sometimes. If I immediately select a song not at the beginning of the disc, it plays just fi…
Beovox S45-2 tune up?
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · May 10, 2021 15:35From what I've heard, it can make a big difference in the clarity of the treble! My S45-2 was upgraded before I bought them recently with Jensen caps (if I remember correctly) so I cannot really claim to have first hand …
BG tangential - Grease for the rails
in BeoGram · May 3, 2021 22:06The small hook is fine. No loose parts. Regarding position, do you mean the "Positioning of PCB 1" in the service manual? What do these related switches actually do? When I slide the arm along the rail, it does not feel …
Beogram 6500 Scraping Sound when half of the record has played
in BeoGram · May 1, 2021 19:11Thanks for giving your input on this! Good to know. It is difficult to know if it would be worthwhile to rebuild the old original MMC2 cartridge. I mean, it works and sounds OK as far as I can tell but who knows how much…
Beogram 6500 Scraping Sound when half of the record has played
in BeoGram · May 1, 2021 17:29Regarding re-cap, is is often necessary on these Beograms? If so, are there any recommended brands and their values floating around the forums? Could be good to know for reference if any problems arise. Would you say tha…

Beogram 6500 Scraping Sound when half of the record has played
in BeoGram · May 1, 2021 15:40Like Peter8300 suggested, it is probably the platter height that needs adjustment. The suspension height is adjusted via screws at the three copper colored thingies that the springs are attached. I just had this problem …
