Beautiful cabinets, Soren, and crazy good work on building the replacement fret board!

Man, what happened to that dust cover? Some of the dust cover designs are brilliant (BG4002), some are not (BG3404), and some fall in between (BG RX2). Here's a photo of one of the adapters I have. 5 pin DIN female to RCA male left and right plus ground terminated in a spade lug.

[quote user="Evan"]Hey Søren, ever heard of Meniscus Audio? They specialize in only parts for speakers. They are pretty fast with getting the order shipped and are no hassle. www.meniscusaudio.com [/quote] I've bought a lot of things from Meniscus in my days, from drivers and fully-built crossovers to fret/grill cloth, damping material

User Evan has both. Try sending him a PM. I'm surprised he hasn't chimed in. I have a question: do you just want a receiver, or are you looking for a full system eventually?

Don't feel too bad, it's a relatively common mistake. But you did give yourself up as a n00b! Well, to address some of your comments and questions: personally, I can't help much because my 3404's have never had any problems, save the ring on the underside of the platter. I ripped mine off and reattached using a two-part epoxy from Lowes

I had a similar experience with a BG3404 when I set it up in my garage. I think what I had to do to "reset" it was this. With the turntable unplugged from power and no record on the platter, move the tonearm to the approximate location of the end of an LP. Then plug the mains back in. If memory serves, the platter spins, the tonearm moves

And the original owner only played classical music on it, which apparently means it's in better shape than if jazz or - dear-god-no ROCK - had been played on it!

Josh: Welcome to Beoworld. I have two working 3404's back at the house. Being a US-only model, the 3404 doesn't get much ink here in the forums. Davefarr is correct. The 3404 - like many BG's - is designed NOT to move the tonearm unless a record is on the platter. Have you tried the deck with a record on it? The "turn" button is
