Beolab 5000 diagnostics

Hi I have tried to search for a thread that describe diagnostics 101 for the Beolab 5000, but cannot find any. I just purchased a tired one for way too much money, but are getting progress now.

Beogram 1700

Hello, My Beogram 1700 seems to not have survived a move. Usually, when I push the 45 or 33 button, the arm moves into the correct position automatically. Now it moves towards the turntable, lowers the stylus, and then pulls back into resting position. I'm not at all familiar with the underlying...

We bought a Beogram 1202 and aren't sure how to calibrate it!

Hi all! We have just bought a Beogram1202 pretty darned cheap and it seems to be in pretty much working order--we've played a few records, and the lift, manual and automatic functions seem to be working perfectly well! Also seems to be playing at the correct speed, however. However, we thought it...

BeoLab 3500 in multiple rooms - maybe multible sources?

Beocenter 9000 CD problem

Hi First post here, after reviewing many, many threads about the CD4 mechanism and board used in the Beocenter 9000. I have the usual problem of disk rejection, failing to play, etc, with the occasional play on really clean disks. Naturally C2103 is the assumed culprit. I replaced C2103 with a Vishay...

Beocenter 3300

Good morning all, I am new to the forum and wondered if anyone had a Beocenter 3300 to help me reassemble one I bought in a few bits? I am unsure how the spring mechanism goes back together for the “Programming” panel? I have the spring and the hook but can’t seem to find a way of putting...
