    Hello,

    Sometimes (and more often since a few time), the arm of my Beogram 6006 does not return to parking position at the end of the disc.

    It happens when the end-groove is very close to the center, so the reading arm is far on the label.

    When pressing stop, I hear the motor spinning but the arm does not move. Same with the fast return key.

    It looks as the moving cart has gone out of the guiding spindle.

    Today, I solved the problem by moving this spindle by hand, but it is not satisfactory.

    A played a “shorter”LP with a larger end-groove palyed without problem.

    Can I check something?

    Thanks by advance,

    Yann.

    Replace the wedge-shaped belt for the carriage motor.

    Also dirt and/or dry lubricants towards the leftmost end of the threaded spindle can cause
    excess friction and make the belt slip.
    Clean the threaded shaft and add a handful tiny drops of teflon oil.

    Thanks Martin,

    I found the belt on Beoparts, but I absolutely don’t know where to find the teflon oil.

    Is there a brand/name that you can recommend?

    Kind regards,

    Yann.

    I bought something on Ebay years ago called “liquid bearing”.

    Hi Martin,

    The new belt is arrived and I sourced teflon bicycle oil for dry condition.

    A question: How to remove safely the transport in order to clean the threaded spindle and what attention points should I take care of?

    Kind regards,

    Yann.

    Update:

    Belt exchanged.

    Threaded spindle cleaned withoud removing the arm. Not perfect but I did what I could.

    Then lubrification with the above-mentioned lubricant.

    The arm acts now as designed.

    Let’s hope it will last.

    I’d liked to have the BG recapped, but it’s out of my competencies.

    Yann.
