Are you comparing a B&O cartridge with 30-40 years old rubber suspension with something factory fresh?

Can we have DC voltage readings on TR1 and TR2 B-C-E respectively, with the Beocord out of standby?

Martin

 

[Dillen]

No.
Looks more like something from Philips or perhaps subbrand DUX.
Scandyna could also be a bet. Their 1702-1 was quite a rip-off in many ways. Can’t really tell as the platter is not visible.

Martin

Thanks, Jacques.

That PCB needs a full restoration.
It still has the original capacitors, which will be bad by now, and the original, now badly oxidated, trimmers.
With all that still in circuit in can be difficult to point to a specific culprit component.

Had the PCB been completely restored, and still failing, the reason could be a leaking diode or transistor.

For potential takers it would be nice to know where in the world it is located.

Beomaster 3500 has no timer functions and it doesn’t support two-way remote control.

Martin

It would perhaps help, if you’d give us an idea about the the price and where in the world they are to be picked up.

You’re right, thank you for pointing this to me. 9€ shipping for a 3€ record is a bit too much unbalanced to me. Nevertheless, I thought this would be more rare and will keep an eye on Discogs. Thank you Martin.

What if the record was EUR 9 and shipping EUR 3?

I cannot see the shipping cost to France, but I don’t think the asking prices are too bad.

Why not just find and buy a real one?

Martin

[Dillen]

And here the cha-cha.

OK,
Here the march (attached).
No singing.

Martin

[Dillen]

There’s a march too.
Do you want them?

Katy Bødtger with Deccas Dance Orchestra – B&O Stereomelodien (vals).

None that I am aware of.
You must take out the drive and rotate the flywheels by hand – or using some kind of suitable tool to carefully push them round.

Martin

[Dillen]

Good job!

Martin

[Dillen]

A bit difficult, and it really depends on which version of drive is fitted in your Beocord.
But basically it’s a matter of rotating the flywheels by hand (Beocord unpowered) until
the tapehead bridge disengages.
Note that the two flywheels rotate in opposite directions; Left one clockwise, right one counter clockwise as seen from above.

-And replace belts.
Correct belts here.
