I don't own the BC3500 but I do have the similar BeoMaster 3000-2, but have never been inside it so I cannot give any specific direction on what to look out for exactly. Just be methodical about what you are doing and all will be fine. Take digital pictures as you go so you know what goes where when you are ready to put it all back together. For nuts, bolts and screws, I often put them back in they're proper place so I do not lose them or mix them up.

If Jaff would only answer:p. He said he had a BC3500:).

Thanks for your advice evman140.

Hmmm... it sounds like you are looking for instructions regarding disassembly?

Anything more specific besides that?

Offcourse Jaff. I would like to use your neverending knowledge about B&O products, o thy grand master.

:) Could you tell me how te relube the bearings of the TT-motor. It's even an undertaking for me to unscrew the tank-like BC3500 (the weight confirms that).

Grand master? I've been called a lot of things... but that may be the least fitting, ever! 😂

Sorry for the delay, my offline life was the definition of chaos the last few days.

OK...

Everything is accomplished from the BACK of the BC.

1.) (2) small phillips-head screws just below the TT plane. This will remove a small black trim piece that spans the BC. It will allow the rearward removal of the dust cover/hinge mechanism. Be careful that the cover doesn't spring and possibly crack the hinges.

2.) (2) medium phillips-head screws on either of side of the cage. This will remove the cage.

3.) (1) Captive grey DIN lead from TT to socket Q1 -pull.

4.) Carefully rotate the BC upwards so that you can locate (2) medium flat-head screws. This will release the complete TT assembly. Carefully rotate the rear of the TT assembly up and pull backwards. Rotate the entire assembly ~90D and release a lead that heads back into the BC (caveat: my BC clearly has been "serviced" and it appears there were changes to the wiring at this point -yours may differ slightly). The entire TT assembly is now able to be benched and serviced. I will recuse to others for motor service/lube. There are also quite a few threads on here regarding this. If I am not mistaken this TT is very similar, if not identical, to the 3000.

Notes: This is actually a pretty slick piece w/ the way that the TT assembly is one complete extractable unit.

Hope that helps!

Jaff,

I believe you when you say that there are some topics here that discuss relubricating the bearings of the TT-motor. The only problem is that I simply can't find them after searching for a reasonable amount of time.

Thereby my question will be if someone can lead me in the good direction to any of the topics that discuss this problem. Please mind that I am not a native English-speaker so I do not understand 90% of the technical jargon that is used in these topics (my head starts to hurt when I read the technical topics).
