Beogram 4002, clack, scratch sound

[Renfield]

Hello everyone,

It must have been a lot of static on my BeoGram 4002z

When I added a anti static mat on the platter, the clack sound disappeared.

I remember to take it if when I play 45’s.???

Thanks very much for the advises.

Sorry to spoil the fun, but anti-static mats are absolutely NO-GO on any Beogram.

First; Due to the thickness of the mat, the needle tracking angle will be wrong.

Second; Because the presence of a record is often determined by either optical
sensors or weight, many Beogram models will think there is a record on the
platter – even if it’s merely the mat, and they will gladly try to play it…
A needle lowered onto a rotating felt mat…  Ouch, – bye needle.

Third; One is never needed, if the deck is in good working order.

You could run a grounding wire from a bolt of the main bearing (note its position or you
will have to realign the bearing) to somewhere on the main metal chassis.

Oops,

I will try to ground the turntable then.

Thanks!
