  • Re: Beogram 4002 Series 5511: Arm Drags Cartridge Across Record

    Hello This is what I found and will replace them tomorrow. Hope renewing these will cure the problem. The clamp holding the slotted plate around the arm base is tight and the area around there is clean. Regards andre/dauphine

  • Beogram 4002 Series 5511: Arm Drags Cartridge Across Record

    After diagnosing and repairing the longstanding issue of too slow 45rpm speed* I reassembled the 4002 and was confronted with yet another problem - hopefully this will be the last bugbear. All functions work. All illumination works. I have correct speeds whatever I select. The platter is level and the sensor arm is the correct 23mm above the alu area

  • Re: Beogram 4002 Series 5511 Spindle Bearing Question

    Hello Martin It is real good to hear from you and clearing up this question. There was no 'wobble' of the platter with the belt fitted and rotating, despite the sideplay observed when the subplatter was pushed by hand when stationary. Although the platter still spins freely, I may as well remove the shim as the factory knows best Best regards

  • Re: Beogram 4002 Control Panel Finish

    Hi jfrancis I have just seen this post. The control pad is brushed stainless steel. I have restored mine as follows: 1) Remove the plate carefully by using a putty knife. Insert the knife from the left and right sides only by moving it from side to side. Once in, gently twist the knife's handle until you can feel the plate lifting. 2) Once you have

    Rich, Thanks for your reply. After I wrote this post, I selected some brass shimstock (0.055mm) thick, rolled it into a tube and inserted it into the bearing well. I also changed the oil from synthetic fishing reel oil to Castrol Final Drive EPX 85W140 transmission oil. Even with a relatively thick bearing 'liner', the platter spins very freely

    Hello Guys Yes, I'm still around[:) I have been working intermittently on the 4002 (and also been listening) quite a lot but that 45rpm speed issue has been with me for many weeks. So, on Monday this week, a tech friend came to visit and we spent quite a few hours with my 'scope hooked up and eventually homed-in on the possible cause of the

  • Beogram 4002 Series 5511 Spindle Bearing Question

    Hello All Yes, I am still here and have not forgotten all the help, tips and advice I received in resuscitated my 4002. However, as I am a working man as I'm sure most of your are, work remains 'in progress' but the 4002 is almost completely listenable - in fact it now has a semi-permanent place on a coffee table in my lounge and the Garrard

  • Re: BG4002 Down! (Back up already)

    Hi Guys @ Rich Reading this thread has been invaluable. I've also got speed problems. 33.3rpm runs abt 3-5% too slow at max + adjustment and 45rpm hoplessly slower than 33.3rpm. So it appears it could be that relay on board 8. I have already had the relay out to clean the contacts better, using 2000grit 3M abrasive paper. This didn't help much
