Beogram 2000 (same as 1203 or 3000) Type 5240: arm come back before lifting

[guigui37]

Hi

it’s been a long time since my last post here 😀

Well, just got a Beogram 2000 which was very sick… with totally blocked motor (fixed easily, I became quite an expert in this exercice 😂)

Now it’s running really good but I have a problem I can’t solve: at the end of the disc, the arm starts to come back just a little bit before lifting up 😓😱… then it lifts and come back correctly : this is terrific for the stylus and the disc.

Does anybody now how to solve this ?

Maybe I have the answer in the coming sentence : the arm is moving a lot at its base, I believe it comes from there but I don’t know how to reduce this that movement, ..

Just got the arm correctly adjusted (like my other Beogram)…but I still have no solution, no idea: arm returns back a little bit before lifting 😭

Try to take off the cam wheel and clean it thoroughly with water and soap and/or isopropylalcohol. All the levers should move freely including the cobber ones. There should be NO grease or oil on it.
That has helped me more than once.

I was going crazy… then I read your post.

Removed the cam wheel… dropped it in my ultrasonic cleaner with detergent and heat…

Dried it…

Got it back … and the dream came true 😃😃😃😃

So happy, the turntable runs like a brand new one !

So many thanks for you help.

The cam wheel was not looking greasy but yes it required to be deeply cleaned… basically.

Many many many thanks again 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
