Velkommen til Beoworld ! Der er to forskellige stel-ledninger til en Beogram pladespiller. Der er en signal stel (midter-benet i DIN stikket) og en chassis-stel (metal-kappen omkring DIN stikket). De er begge vigtige. Begge skal føres igennem og de skal holdes adskilt. Hvis du har brum, er det fordi de enten ikke begge er gennemført eller

Thanks for the replies. Greatly appeciated and I have noted everything. In the mean time, I managed to find the real Siemens IC and am now awaiting delivery. Martin

The module is clearly stamped "Kø" for København (Copenhagen) which confirms that this set was meant for use in the eastern parts of Denmark, near Copenhagen. Martin

One thing is not smart with this set; It's not easy to test the chassis on the bench. The output transformer and speaker sits in the cabinet - that could be solved with a couple of long leads but the pushbutton station selector module is in there too and the cable connecting it to the chassis is very short to prevent noise/oscillation etc. and should

Yes, that's the damper plate. It is held at the hole, which fits around a cylindrical protruding in the chassis casting and the flat part slides between the two similar plates on the hinge piece. The surfaces are treated with kilopoise grease and it's job is to dampen the opening of the large metal lid. Martin

If you can provide a photo of the piece, maybe we can recognize it ? Martin

There could be something physically blocking the tonearm and/or solenoid, preventing it from dropping. I cannot tell you exactly what and where, sometimes a cartridge protective cap, a screw or some other object, maybe even an old cartridge is found rattling around inside, but it could also be an electronic fault. The solenoid is driven by a ramp voltage

Clean the threaded shaft and the carriage nylon bushing and add a couple of drops of acid-free oil. f.e. sewing machine oil of the type that evaporates in months rather than hours, to the shaft. On the Beograms that come here, I like to use a type of oil that is normally used in aviation instruments. It will work for a very long time. Yes, use a microscope

Ross, Welcome to Beoworld ! Sounds like your Beogram has one or more of the standard issues. You can read A LOT about this if you do a search in the fora as Pete suggests but I can also line the most common faults in the Beogram 6006, 8000 and 8002 up here: - Capacitors. They dry out and/or leak. A kit is available for convenience. Should be replaced

Thanks Mika, yes I noticed that in the datasheets and I agree it probably won't work. And yes, I'm afraid that is the case. I still have a single test to do, the display driver has some essential functions so I am digging deep in the boxes to see if I have one of them. If the display driver MM5450 IC is bad, the Beomaster may not start. A long
