Thanks YannChris for the link to the belt, I’ll be sure to purchase it. In the meantime I used a regular stationary rubber band and it works pretty well . Of course durability is an issue, but for testing the device it works well. I’ll be sure to replace it soon with the triangular one.

And thanks Mark for the suggestions about the DIN-RCA cable. I currently have a generic one just for testing. But I’ll be sure to get the correct one and retest it.

I’ll keep you posted

Hello, how are you? Just wanted to share great news. I managed to bring it back to life! 🙂
The issue was oxidized base for the IC1 and a bad TR17. I replaced it and cleaned each slot for the IC1 with Deoxit.
I now have the issue that the belt is to loose so the motor slips when trying to move the carriage.
Do you know if anything from the carriage mechanism needs to be lubricated? And if so which lube should I use?
I connected it to a pair of speakers and I do get sound when I gently tap the stylus. But there’s a general background humming sound that’s getting in from the carriage motor.
Any suggestions to clean the sound?
Anyway, I consider getting to this point a great success for a Facebook Marketplace facing landfill.
Thank you all for all the support so far, I would have been able to get this far without your support.

Hello, I’m back with an update. I have replaced the fuse and I now get 5VDC at pin P6-1 and on the 01C1 5V regulator. But still no red dot 🙁.
So far I’ve replaced the fuses, replaced the capacitors, checked their correct polarity and re-install the severed din plug.
Any ideas what else could be the issue.
None of the buttons do anything either.
Thanks 🙂

[Jordi Veytia Iglesias]

Hello, checked all the fuses and the one inside the power brick has no continuity. Going to replace it and will run the tests again.
I’ll keep you posted.

Thanks 🙂

Hello, just sharing an update. I’ve reconnected the severed Din plug. However, I still get bored dot when plugging, no 5VDC at pin 6-1, nor voltage at the 5V regulator. I’ve checked all new capacitors to be installed correctly, but no signs of life.
Any other suggestions? Should I go ahead and try replacing the Wicon capacitor inside the power brick?
Thanks 🙂

[Jordi Veytia Iglesias]

Thank you very much! I’ll reconnect everything and run the test again.

Thanks, just checked for 5VDC at pin P6-1 with the black lead on negative C27 and got no signs of life.
I also want to share that the din plug is completely disconnected, the guy I bought it from told me he wanted to replace it with an RCA but never did. Anyway, the din plug is not connected, do you know how to reconnect it? I’m attaching an image.

Thanks

How should I proceed in order to test 5VDC at pin P6-1. I have identified the location of that pin, but where should I contact with the other probe in order to test the voltage? Sorry for the dumb question 😬

Thank you very much.

Hello, how are you? I have replaced all the capacitors following the cap replacement kit from dksoundparts.
Is there an additional step I should follow before plugin it in? What should I expect to see after plugin it in, red standby light?
If I get no signs of life should I move ahead and replace the Phase Cap for the Platter Motor mechanism?
Thanks 🙂

[Jordi Veytia Iglesias]

Great! Thanks for the response. I’ll add the jumper then.

Thanks 🙂

Hello, how are you?

I’ve been replacing all the capacitors on the PCB. But I have one question. In the instructions that came with the capacitors for the Beogram 8002 from Beoparts shop, it says that on C27 an additional connection should be introduced, linking the negative pin of C27 to the negative pin of C20.
I know there are different versions of the PCB and the instructions do not specify if this additional connection should be done on all versions or just in specific ones. I do notice that my PCB is slightly different from the one shown in the instructions which is why I don’t know if I should introduce the new connection.
Anyone knows if this applies to all versions or just some of them?

Thanks 🙂

Hi Francois, I haven’t made any progress on my Beogram. I got the parts Christian recommended, but I haven’t got to the soldering yet.

I’ll venture into re-soldering the capacitors and in case that ends up not being the issue I’ll replace the one in the power supply.

I’ll keep you updated once I get to it.

Thanks for the advice and good luck with yours.

Jordi
