    Hi Derek,

    Long time no see!

    Have you replaced the blue cap?

    Hi,

    I had a bad motor once that had not enough power to lift the lid, on a CDX.

    A new motor solved the problem.

    Does the motor stop altogether or do you hear it struggling ?

    Of course, if you can find one.

    Hi,

    Or the Terminal 8000, of course. But no stepped volume drops or reset! But it does work fine.

    Hi,

    The prescaler chip, yes, a no brainer. A classic failure: many of us have had this fault. Beware there are fakes around, especially from Asia. Here for the real deal:

    I don’t like Android at all. One more reason ?

    It won’t work. Completely different contexts, with incompatible characteristics.

    Are you trying to save money or do you want a great deck ruined by a DIY mess?

    Buy a new cartridge from Soundsmith and enjoy the music ?

    As regards cartridges I’ll advise Soundsmith

    in the USA. They have brand new models also used by B&O nowadays.

    Hi,

    Nobody attacks you I’m sure Thomas.

    We’re here to help with no agenda whatsoever. Advice is free.

    Just that these decks are a little complicated and that you should have good notions in electronics to be able to return them to full functionality.

    Everybody here went to a sometimes lengthy learning process thanks to knowledgeable and friendly people like Martin or John aka Sonavor. We also share our findings whenever something new turns up.

    So, look, listen and learn. Study diagrams and schematics, ask us questions, and fix your Beogram 8000. Take your time and enjoy the ride.

    Jacques

    So I ‘guessed’ right Steve.

    A little disappointed they didn’t do a real Beogram 4000 this time though. I’ll forever stick to mine.

    Look, I have quite a few CD players, some 40 years old, and they almost all still work. I’ve yet to find a Philips-based player that isn’t fixable, by the way. All my B&O CD players have their original laser assemblies.

    However, the CDM12 don’t seem as reliable, although mine all work perfectly.

    Hi,

    Nice turntable, a keeper.
    I’m afraid the tonearm will have to be dismantled, cleaned bit by bit, lubricated and re-assembled. The old grease/oils become sticky and this is basic maintenance for 50 year-old decks. Do that, then we’ll advise further. Also, does the tonearm light with the red B&O logo work?

    Hi,

    It is very unlikely the CDM itself is faulty. I’ve yet to find a bad CDM4. And I’ve come across quite a few.

    Have you checked the voltages as per service manual?

    Since you now have the correct caps everywhere, the fault must be around the power supply.

    Blah blah. The man is listening to himself. Almost every YouTube video is like that. A written review is much better in my opinion.

    Nice but the important bits you really need to show are the wooden trims.

    Well done. Excellent work on these beauties. ??

    Superb speakers I’ve been trying to get for ages. I had to do with the lesser MC120-2. Almost there, but not quite !
