Glad you got to a spot where you are happy! I haven’t had a chance to check the table with the RPM app again, but I believe it was around .2 W&F when I checked last. That is perfectly fine for me as I can’t hear that in the slightest. Remember not to get too caught up in the numbers (the RPM app also isn’t exactly perfect). Enjoy that Beogram!

Funny enough, I found your forum post as I was having serious wow and flutter issues with a Beogram 1700 that I just picked up. After recapping the board and adding a new belt, I was lost. My rpm app would get readings of up to 3% w&f. After nearly tearing my hair out, I found the solution. For me, it was the motor. Removed the pulley and put a good drop of machine oil on it, running it using the TURN button. After reassembling, the table now runs like a beauty. Good luck with your issue!

Thanks! I ended up following a suggestion to use water with a bit of dish detergent on the aluminum—it worked wonderfully. I ended up polishing the cover with a bit of polishing cream and a polishing bit that works with my drill. Not perfect, but I’d say it reduced the scratches by about half. Looks a lot better!
