Beogram 5500 carriage string fabrication

I recently acquired a BG5500 for restoration and found that the carriage drive string and its spring were both missing, mostly likely because the post H was broken off. I fitted a small screw, washer and nut to create a new anchor post as recommended many times in the forum. After searching for a while...

Using a Beogram turntable for streaming

Hi everybody I thought about using a Beogram 3000 (59xx) as a ‚standalone’ streaming source. Does anyone know about a solution using a Raspberry Pi or an Arduino? Are there other / simpler ways? Inputs would be much appreciated. Looking forward to lots of suggestions, Nietz.

Beogram 3000 cueing problem - doesn't sense the record?

Hello everyone, I've finally made an account now that I've got a problem that needs solving! I have an early-80s Beogram 3000 (type 5903) that, after sitting dormant for a few years, no longer plays. The unit powers up, the platter spins, and then it shuts off. A light does shine across the record...

Beogram 3000 5901 No sound from output

Hello I'm new to turntables, and bought a Beogram 3000 type 5901 kind of cheap (ca 80USD). The first time I pluged it in my stereo, it didn't give much sound, I could hear the music from the needle, but that's it. I talked to some locals who are pioneers in turntables who said I needed an...

Beogram 3000 (5241 model) hinge repair and arm movement

I'm in the process of making new acrylic hinges to glue to the broken pieces of the existing turntable lid. However, it appears to me that by doing so, the hinge nearest the tonearm will impede the travel of the tonearm itself. The counterweight looks like it will strike it before the autolift cuts...

1974 Beogram 3000 (5241 model) manual operation

When I turn the operation button to "On", the turntable goes into the automatic "30" mode, rather than just begin revolving the platter. Effectively, I have no manual operation function I'm sure that's not right and it feels as if a switch is sticking, or shorting with the...
