Hi Martin, The Beogram 4000 has arrived in Denmark. Let us hope that Danish Customs are nicer in regard to these Beograms than is Customs Canada. Please let me know when you receive the 4000 and the condition in which it arrived. My goodness, I am more nervous than a new father with his first born child! Jeff

Yes, it has taken me a long time simply because I was so intimidated about shipping the Beogram 4000, however I followed Martin’s directions to the letter vis a vis packing, so I am hopeful that it will arrive in good shape. I understand your fondness for your Beogram 8002. I recently acquired mine and am completely delighted with it. My 8002

Hi Martin, The Beogram 4000 is on its way to you. The packaging is not entirely everything that it should be, but I believe it to be adequate to get the 4000 to you in one piece. Sorry I missed your communication regarding the Beogram 8000 motherboard. However, perhaps it is best as I don’t want to overwhelm you with work. Truth be known, I have

Hi Russ, I am no expert, but I feel that you are right. I went for the speaker which does not like high volume and the mid-range really sounded crummy moving in and out. Just like I was dragging cardboard back and forth. So the 4500 protecting itself makes perfect sense. Thanks for the great tip. Jeff

Yikes! I am in the process of packing up my Beogram 4000 to have serviced…. on top of the non-functional Beogram 8000, and recently dead Beocord 9000. I would never but NEVER “shoot the messenger,” however the idea that my Beomaster 4500 needs service is not exactly welcome news at this moment in time. (No matter how true.) The Beomaster

Thanks Martin, Please send me a PM with your mailing address for this package. Some shippers require a telephone number, so kindly provide your business phone number as well. If you have a preference for shippers please let me know . I have had good results and catastrophic results with both Canada Post/USPS and UPS. A recent purchase of a Beogram 8002

Hi Russ, I will try your “quick and dirty” test on these speakers. Both sets (S-45 & S75) were gifts from a good friend, but their “history” is completely unknown. Currently I have the S-45’s connected to the 2400 and it is clearly NOT a happy combination. I turned up the volume and the speakers really protested. So

Hi Russ, When I originally wired this Beomaster 4500 to my Linn speakers, both B&O connectors were shorted out….. a sloppy job by the eBay seller. This undoubtedly contributed to the protection feature kicking in a bit early. I have since purchased new plugs and had them professionally soldered. So now with new plugs I was greatly surprised

Hi Martin, Yes, I would like to have you repair this 4000. Not shipping the platter will save a good bit of weight and the cartridge goes without saying that it could easily be damaged in shipment. One MAJOR concern is what to do about the tonearm assembly. In the 4002/4004 series, the arms are attached to the rod and are basically secure. Not so with

Hi Martin, I am ready to have my ailing Beogram 4000 repaired. If the details escape you after this long wait, the 4000 will do everything except drop the tonearm, which causes the fuse to blow. Every time. The 4000 will turn its platter, the arms move left and right, the arms come back to rest at the end of play….. everything except drop the
