UK – Beogram turntable 4000

[bartlebobton]

Hello…. I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction, or give me some guidance.

I have a Beogram 4000 Turntable from the early 70s, I would like to find out if it is still functioning correctly. Currently I don’t have a cartridge, this leaves me unable to make the most basic of tests.  One of the pickup arms should have a red led illuminated, it doesn’t, I’m unsure of its significance. The deck spins up and the arms appear to be working correctly when powered up.

Also, are there any alternatives to the B&O 4000 pickup needle, as I’m sure most of you know, they are horribly expensive

I live just outside London.

Big thanks,

BB
