About to start my 2nd Beomaster 4400 restoration – need tuner restring advice

[Stephen Taylor]

Hi,

just had a quick look at the latest BM 4400 I’ve acquired.  Generally it looks OK but I’ve noticed that the tuner needs re-stringing.

The string is intact but no longer passes through the wheels/pulley.

I also notice there is a spring which was attached to something that has broken off.

Does anyone have expertise in this area and can offer advice?

It’s the kind of mechanical fiddlyness that I know I’m terrible at, I do like to have a go though.

Thanks in advance!

Steve

A trawl of 4400 manuals has led me to believe that “Diagram (3955001)” and diagram “Dial cord (6271101)” are missing – if anyone has a complete manual I would be extremely grateful – cheers!

Found this on here, not sure how I missed it before – sounds pretty reasonable:

Take off the top cover, the tuning slider has some pins glued to the tuning string, probably the glue let loose or the pins are broken, or worst case the string is broken, If the string is broken, you will need a new one, If not, tune in to a known station, set the slider exactly to the stations Mhz, with epoxy or a strong glue attach the slider to the string.
