Hey hey hey, 4716, same as mine!!

Done it twice, don't be put off. You just need à steady hand! I've just finished replacing the complete switch assembly on my Beocord 2200 and this was difficult!

Here you go, sorry about the quality! Beogram 4000 noise Setting the wormscrew parallelism (a pig of a job, this) and lubricating it (Martin recommands teflon charged oil) is also paramount (I like this word!) for the motor to run smoothly. In later Beogram 8000s the wormscrew was guided at both ends and I think it's more elegant. More so than the

It is not difficult at all! Either buy brand new from Soundsmith , or buy a duff one on ebay (not more than €20-30) and have it re-tipped chez Axel Schurholz , or buy an already repaired one from him! Not really a problem these days. Someone on eBay with a 100% feedback (UK) also sells complete refurbished Beograms with Axel's cartridges!

Superb step-by-step(1) instructions Olly! My motor doesn't look like this at all! Oh well... By the way, I used a hollow plastic Q-tip rod which I cut off to do the brush job (the axle just fits in), but paper seems much safer... Good idea Olly!

Yes I have a 4002 motor on my 4000. The hole was useful to me, it was possible to see the problem and take/maintain the brushes away!

WD40? Absolutely forbidden! This is just good for unlocking rusted bolts! You may use sewing machine oil or even Mobil One! Olly has an early Beogram 4000 and on later models the bearing is not as good, so I'd say one minute tops. About the carriage motor, the one on the final 4000s is the same as on the 4002 and it is much noisier. Yours is exageratly

More than ready!

Let's hope he (it?) won't get bugged! Does it (he?) run on batteries?

Hi Martin, I still had the noisy CDM2 (white one, BG CD5500) transport, even after changing the 33 uF Philips (I had a new axial blue Philips 47 uF at hand). It was quieter but not very quiet! Then I decided to use Google Translation, because my German is virtually at level 0, and I more or less understood that C2159 could do exactly that: making the
