  • Re: Repairs to a classic

    Nearly there- Check the AGC line for resistors gone high- they usually do and leaky capacitors - even a tiny leak may kill the AGC - I haven't got the circuit so can't be sure, but if its the original capacitor it will probably need changing.(Temporarily swap the components for new ones) Occasionally the low value caps go O/C so its worth testing

  • Re: Beogram failing to "see" records

    My 4002 which was working perfectly will no longer 'see' a record it just goes to the end (changing speed 1/2 way) then returns. I can clearly see the light on the sensor arm shining on the record and the B&O logo is illuminated (same bulb?) Putting a piece of black paper under the sensor arm whilst it is trying to play will not trick it

    Off to the car boot sales then (if you have them in Denmark ) Philips Radios used CBL1's a lot so they will have a matching transformer provided it is the right physical size. If you have no luck let me know and i'll see what I have here. Have you tried re soldering the tags? sometimes they get 'green spot' and the flux eats the copper

    I have never had a problem with these yet provided they are the correct rating for the job. They are available in various voltage ratings notably 160V & 400V they are all marked -160 is too low! Measure the DC voltage between chassis & the grid of the Output valve- should be negative. I expect the value is on the schematic Regards

    Hi Dillen, That 'little fellow' is renowned for frying transformers leaving the primary open circuit and destroying output valves for the reason you mention. I always replace it with at least 2x max voltage working of the previous valve's HT voltage to protect it, what voltage rating is the 'little fellow'?

    Hi Dillen can you check the output transformer? -does the circuit data sheet give ohmic values. sometimes the primaries burn out through layers but are still intact. does it get warm? Is there an old capacitor 'leaking' your AF power away? Do the IF transformers iron dust cores look like they have been moved? if you don't have shortwave

    I would attach at least 4m of aerial wire and a signal earth. have you missed any of the wax/electrolytic caps? sometimes they are in the IF cans Try moving the valves in their sockets, could be dirt . Check coils/wavechange switch for continuity -your violins could have been from Shortwave picked up by the oscillator coil nearly there good luck

    Bulb replaced, diapragm adjusted, its very critical, and it no works perfectly. Thank you all for your help.

    Hi The lamp is blown, the manual is not very helpful describing 'housing with lamp' what is the voltage rating of the lamp? will one from the speed indicators do the job?

  • 4002 will not advance on the record

    I have now checked this deck out and all functions work, I have cleaned, lubricated the dropping mechanism cylinder and cleaned the running rails which were squeaky. Everything works except, the record gets stuck, (I have tried several) i.e the arms are not moving across the record with the pickup dropped. It will travel to the end and back with no
