jordan, 1.) stability: the motor and pulley should be "loose" and move around (within reason). that allows for the manual speed adjustment accessed by the coin-edged wheel on the left hand side -once the platter is belted. 2.) the motor does not look very complicated. i will recuse to those on here that have actually performed the cleaning

jonathan, what part of the states are you in? re: the volume lights -it is prob exactly that. the tiny light kernels are prone to failure. i am surprised that all the other ones work. if you decide to replace them, i would suggest replacing all of them. member: dillen -has a light kit available for these of the correct type.

jonathan, welcome to beoworld! you have a great setup there! what speakers are you using? if not b&o -look for some s45's! great speakers-great value!

Puncher: As I understand it there has been an open invitation since the new Beoworld began for anyone to write a review of a product they own or to propose/update items in the faq section. If they have merit they can be added to the site. Perhaps we should officially re-issue a request for submissions and see what contributions are generated before

no lambasting here -because i agree w/ you too! the search is key! i generally find 90% of my answers by just searching or reading the faq's! i think that the idea of the wiki makes it easier for people to contribute though, but in practice that may not be the case -as you mentioned -it had been attempted before... maybe more emphasis should be

Peter : Just check that there is not a dodgy connection in the DIN plug of the loudspeaker though! i had a very similar situation w/ a bm6000. it, in fact, turned out to be the wiring in the din plug! certainly worth a look!

complete agreement w/ philippe! it is amazing how often i see similar questions and the same answers! compiling all this info into a wiki would be great! unify the faq's, product manuals, product images... yahoo! i also agree w/ the moderation, and controlled access for editing! it needs to be as accurate as possible, not opinions. ...and that is

thx peter! lol - i couldn't think of a better term -as the numbers can be quite confusing... well, i have the platter and a nos sp still sealed in the package as well! @ operaman: let me know what your intentions are... i am in the states and will be happy to help, if you decide to go this route! btw, welcome to beoworld!

@ peter: could you confirm for me which "old" 3000 -the late 60's unhinged or early 70's hinged? i have a spare 5231 (i believe - will have to chk tonight). if it is that, i could provide the motor to the op if he needs one -of course after i confirm that is ok and worth sending! ;-)
