    What happens if you unplug the Beogram from the amp completely?

    This is not the only Bang & Olufsen product currently available on the market.
    There are many others to choose from. And at many price levels, – for beach or home use.

    You don’t have to buy any of it, if you don’t want to.

    These Beogram based products may bring a respectable revenue – I cannot say – but I see them merely as novelty products, really.
    Colors can be discussed. A matter of taste, I suppose.
    Nice none-the-less.
    Unique and special.

    You could take a look at how Bang & Olufsen chose to mark their 50 years anniversary in 1975 product-wise;
    Well, to put it short they … (insert drum-roll)… put a sticker on a number of portable radios and distributed them
    to the employees who participated in the celbration party at the factory.

    Not exactly an earth-quake of a product – but collectable still, –  almost 50 years later.

    That is not a flagship. It is just a modded turntable with a Core and the 28’s in a – admitted – beatifully crafted cabinet. Something for very few people with loads of money to spend on nostalgia (for some probably even just as an investment). Why so much efford on keeping an an inferior reproduction medium alive – I don’t get it? This is how a flagship looks – something that has future potential and something that a lot of people can have in their homes: IMG_0610 Sorry, Steve – but thanks for the video anyway. MM

    How much future potential does a flatscreen TV have – flagship or otherwise?
    10 years? 25? 50?

    Yes
    Has little glue remains, but they should file off easily.

    Weak power supply?
    Check power supply voltages.

    So…

    Sound drops out after a few seconds, and VU-meters follow?
    The tape keeps running?
    Both tape reels are rotating?
    And if you touch the tapehead solder tags you get a buzz from the speakers and deflection on the VU-meter?

    Sure the tape has a good recording on it?

    Check for cracked solder joints, particularly where connectors are soldered in the main PCB.

    Did you check the 7Vref?
    It’s not important if Dolby is in or out. The signal runs through parts of the Dolby ICs regardless.

    Sounds like a mechanical problem, – misaligned tapeheads or something bent in the tape path.
    Is the tape running off the head?

    And there are in fact two different counterweights – used in different models, but very similarly looking and not interchangeable.

    A capacitor problem, perhaps.
    Check the 7Vref to the Dolby ICs.
    Does the VUs still deflect or will they fall to zero as sound disappears?

    Did you adjust anything?

    If you didn’t – DON’T!
    If you did – that’s why.

    35V on a 5V rail is bad news.
    This is one of those cases that will typically never be completely repaired, seeing as all circuits
    running on 5V will be damaged.
    Even after repairing and replacing everything that appears to be affected, some
    components will still have scars that will show up as faults later.

    My suggestion – find another Beomaster.

    Beogram CDX2 has more in common with Beogram CD3300 than CDX.
    For some of the Beogram CDX2 circuits, you can use the CD3300 service manual.

    Is something rubbing og grinding? Does the belt touch the motor bracket?
    Did you check the motor suspension rubber bushings?

    Lubricating the belt?
    Sounds more like an adjustment issue with the lid switch.
