Note that this Beogram differs from the one shown in the linked page, it does not have
the left side switch etc. but the tonearm mechs are basically the same.

And I agree on using a proper circlip tool. It WILL fly across the room.

Thanks Martin - can't take shortcuts when degreasing those pivot points, eh?  🙂

Mine looks like this (made in Germany):

You guys are doing such a great job, I'll just watch from the sidelines!

These circlips are called, Jesus Christ, because thats what you say when they get wings😁

WELL...I am a BELIEVER!!!!     I used my c-clip tool to remove the clip and took out the lever, and sure enough, the old grease was caked up in there.  The Singer oil drop I applied a few days ago was just floating on top of the pin, and never traveled down.  Cleaned up the pin and the hole in the lever, applied Singer oil and put everything back, and the tone arm snaps right back up everytime now...

Thanks to everyone for your advices and Menahem for publishing that great guide!!! 

Good job !

Don't be a stranger now.

Yes, you can be proud. Yet another 4002 saved from the tip! 🙂

And I agree with Martin, no problem here, you can tell us who you are!

Yep...will be hanging around beoworld for a while.  I normally frequent audiokarma.  This was the first B&O TT in my vintage audio collection, and the only other B&O is a basic cassette deck w/ melted belts.  I mostly collect Pioneer, Marantz and Sansui.  And I'm out in California, USA.

This forum has a lot of international members (all B&O fans of course), and it's been a pleasure seeing all the enthusiasm present in the posts.  Thanks again guys...
