          Thank you Sonavor. Will give that a go.  Btw the arm does not drop straight down  as you suggest but moves slightly towards the center of the record – how do I fix this?

            Already been re-capped.  Will investigate further as suggested.  Thank you.

                Thanks Dillen – thank you for your reply.  tracking force measured with scales at 1.2g.  Tracking depth was off – it is now correct at o.5mm above low ribs and the tone arm does now move when I rotate the record but….now of course something is wrong with the sensor – when I nudge the tone arm to the left nothing happens – I have tried to adjust the eccentric screw on the shutter position but to no affect.  Any other ideas?  Could the sensor be playing up?

                  Apologies for any confusion.  There is no TV in my setup – only display is a Sony PJ.  cabling as follows:-

                  AppleTV 4K  (4k video out)>>via HDMI>> Vertex2 (HDMI0 input)

                  Vertex2 (TX1 output – 1080p Video & PCM Audio) >>via HDMI>> Beosystem 4 (HDMI Input 5) >> Output via HDMI to PJ Input 1

                  Vertex2 (TX0 output – 4k Video)  >> DIRECT via HDMI >> PJ Input2

                  Hope this helps.

                    I tried the Feintech product and could not get it to work work with my projector Sony VW-VPL590ES.  I tried the HD Fury Vertex2 instead – bought from Joe at https://tmfsolutions.co.uk/?s=Hd+fury.  with amazing service from Joe and great online support from HDfury  the complex setup became a breeze.  Now I have 4k pass through to input 1 of the PJ and 1080p video and PCM audio to the Beosystem 4 (1080p video goes into input 2 of PJ so I can still see OSD for volume and the like and view non-4k material via BS4).  Appears to be stable after 20 hours of viewing.  Great solution and means that my BS4 gets to go on for a few more years yet.  Note I have a pair of BL5s in the setup so switching to a non-B&O AVR presented difficulties.

                          I am also intrigued by this.  Steve do you supply the fixed cables or just the adapter cable to b&o ?  It is the  black braided fixed cables that interest me – I already have you excellent adapter cables.

                                Fixed.  Thank you Craig and Christian.  The down switch contact terminal was oxidized and bent – after cleaning and straightening it works a charm.  Tone arm is dropping smoothly now.  Sweet sounds are emanating from the deck and its owner.  Thanks again.

                                  Great Craig.  Thank you.  I hope you make a speedy recovery.

                                      in my discussions with a b&o sales rep they have stated that the bg4000 is not part of the refurbishment program – just bg4002,4004&6000.   I would also like to know what they do to the electronics other than the new RIAA board.
