Beogram 1000 platter removal

[Roger Webster]

I am trying to resurrect one of these for a friend. Platter suspension seems to have collapsed, but I can’t get it off to see why. No screws under the 45 adaptor and removing the little circlip didn’t do the trick. Advice gratefully received !

I had the same the first time. But look very closely.

There is a C-clip that sits on the axel-pin in the middle (seen from the top). Remove that, but be careful that it doesn’t jump away.

When removed, you can lift the inner disc with the strobe markings.

Thanks for the advice – I got the strobe and rubber mat off – hoping to see some screws I could undo to remove the platter – sadly they appear to be rivets. Any further suggestions welcomed.

If I remember well, you should be able to lift the platter up/out.

Nope – still firmly fixed. I’ll go in from underneath and see what I find.

I’m properly baffled by this TT! I have accessed the underside and there is nothing there which might release the platter. In the photo of the spindle housing you should be able to make out a black cog – which doesn’t appear to engage with anything! And the last pic shows a cutout in the plate through which you can see the underside of the platter. As I turn the platter by hand occasionally bits of mangled belt appear – but how could you replace a belt with no access to the motor under the platter? There’s no cutouts in the platter for locating a belt on the drive spindle – er – as I say – baffled !!

Are you able to rotate the platter, or is it stuck?

For your information, the platter you are trying to remove, looks like this from the bottom side:
