Beogram CD-50 – Lower Disc Holder 9132

[Rob Bune]

Hi Guys,

I’m knew to the Beogram world, a good friend of mine has asked me to take a look at his Cd-50 with a faulty CD tray.

I did some research which led me to replace the black band between the motor and cogs which drives the tray mechanism. this has resolved has resolved the eject/loading issue – so far so good.

However it seems that the clip that holds the spring on the lower disc holder has lost the tabs which the plastic ring that keeps the spring in place have broken. Consequently the spring loader ring won’t stay in play.

It is not clear from the service manual but I think the part number is 9132 “Disc Holder, Lower”

Would anyone have one of these available of have any suggestions – I don’t really want to buy another unit for parts if possible.

Thanks in advance.

The parts in your photo look intact.
But perhaps that’s merely a photo you found somewhere?
Else – ask at Danish Sound Parts.
They are known to be able to help with many, else impossible, parts.

It is my photo, there are two small tabs shown in arrows that are broken. Anyway I sourced that part.

The disc now loads but won’t play. I can here a clicking sound as the motor spins.

When the tray closes the disc raises but drops again at the end of the travel. Seems to be because of the groove on the cog… Is this correct?

Should the disc be picked up when it is raised, because to me it looks as if the disc is just sat in the tray?

I don’t have the CD mechanism screwed down but it lined up with the screw holes and I have tried minor adjustments.

Any ideas? Thanks.

You might be able to find some hints in this guide that also has a lot of pictures and recommandations for capacitor replacements

Thanks that link is very helpful. It seems the cog is correct and the raiser should dip at the end of the travel. So my issue is that the disc is not being picked up by the motor when it is raised, it simply drops back down as it would when ejecting.

The disc isn’t ever going to clamp.

Sorry I am not able to give you any further input as I have yet to start the repair in my own CD50, but am following with interest.

it seems that this forum’s interest for the CD-50 possibly died a little of late – the archived version has lots of historical posts and contributions from many members who no longer seem to here!
