No new drive belt as yet, the old one is a very good (ie not loose) fit and when playing is very stable for most of the time, just the occasional wow and then back to speed again. 'Happens roughly every 10 or 15 minutes or so, sometime goes for a whole side without doing it..Motor has nice torque, belt is good and clean. My guess is maybe the relay

Haven't heard this equipment so no comment re the sound, but to me, it is butt ugly stuff..a far cry from the elegance which was once B&O..some companies lose their way from time to time..or just lose focus. It looks like style for style sake there...take the B&O logo off and put any Chinese logo in it's place and no-one outside of the

Hi Olly, I am talking about the actual turntable drive motor, with the belt off it is silent, with the belt on it has this "burbling Hum" from all around the motor and the actual platter. I havent done much with it lately as I have been working until late most days but will try to isolate it and also hammer down the occasional speed instability

I know what I am talking about!! I own and run them both..I am not and never did talk about speed change. When I press to start the solenoid operation on the 4000 is noisy with a loud Clack..the dash pot is adjusted and the arm lowers nice and slow. The motor on the 4000 is quite quiet after much careful adjustment of the voltage. The 4002 is much quieter

No......................The 4000 is more noisy as far as the solenoid operation is concerned. The 4002 is MUCH quieter in actual operation, however the 4002 motor is noisier..

The motor noise is greater on the 4002 when up close, but from my listening spot it make no difference. The arm lifting/lowering mech is more "clanky" on the 4000 and that is with the dashpot adjusted. The arm lowers nice and slow but the actual mechanism for doing this is much louder. Also even when running correctly I get the feeling that

Thanks Jim..

Hi Olly, Thanks, that is definitley the same as my board with the 3V DC Motor. I stripped and cleaned the motor and re lubed and now is running fine except for an occasional waver and slowing down and recovering again. Maybe the pots are dirty or the relay.. As for comparison between this and the 4000, well not much to report really. I prefer the overall

Thanks to you both so much for the help, I will do some rescearch and get back to you. Dillen, can you let me know the cost for a full belt set, I will pay how you wish, PayPal, Bank Transfer or whichever you prefer. Thanks Guys..
