Beogram 1200 – a bit too fast – regulator wheel already at it´s max?

[jens.van slooten]

Hi there,

I got hold of an old Beogram 1200 where the motor made some wired noise and the mechanic wasn´t working properly. I disassembled the motor, changed both bearings (which were completely dry), installed a new belt and adjusted the mechanic.

The motor is running perfectly now (without any sound) and the automatic start etc. as well and it’s really a dream to watch and listen BUT …

… the player runs a bit too fast – approx. 34 rpm – and I cannot fine tune it with the wheel on the left back because it is already on the position for the slowest speed (max. clockwise).

What can be the reason for this? Any ideas? How does this fine tuning works with the friction drive? Does the fine tuning  adjust the the idler wheel a bit higher to become slower? Or the other way round?

The drive roller is on it´s place. The idler well is the original one.

Many thanks in advance for any hint.
