Guy: CDM 1 goes in CDX but not sure not likely for 9000. Graham perhaps you can confirm? The only difference between 110/220 systems in general is the power transformer (assuming that it does not support multiple voltages). Everything else after that is the same. There are people here that know how to repair the CD mechanisms on the component level

Friends: Anyone looking for a CDM 1 laser? It is not my listing, I've never dealt with the seller but if you need the part, it is a reasonable price. http://cgi.ebay.com/Philips-CDM-1-laser-pickup-Studer-Revox_W0QQitemZ180178719523QQihZ008QQcategoryZ20831QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Derek

Happy to help Kevin! With patience you will be able to get the arm sensor set up perfectly. Just remember that the sensor arm and the tone arm must always be parallel. If it looks even slightly crooked the plate is not set properly. Keep in mind that if the hole in your LP is not centered then the arm will wobble so you should try on a few lps to see

2) Must be VERY careful taking the bottom off. There's a rod that holds one side in place. DO NOT prop the back cover up with the rod attached, it will destroy the chasis. DON'T take the bottom off at all ! The top part is hinged at the right side and will swing up allowing easy access to everything inside = Service position, shown in the service

Hi Peter: Yes a poll would be interesting! I never liked the dust cover hinge in the 8000. Visually, its a very elegant design with the tension spring and plunger however it does not hold up with time. I've seen a few 8000 turntables with cracked housings right where the tension spring is. Actually B&O must have known this to be a liability

I'm not sure that I understand your question. Perhaps try rewording it? Essentially the plate is attached by a crude clamp. By tightening the clamp it locks the plate to the tone arm. As the tone arm swivels it regulates the light on the photo sensor. If you do not tighten the clamp vibrations or any shock to the turntable such as a simple move

Just to add my 2 cents worth on this..... The 8000 series turtables are tricky to repair. I think it is one of the most unfriendly pieces of B&O take apart. Unless you are really good with your hands, send it in to one someone who knows VINTAGE B&O. I took mine several years ago to an authorized B&O service center in Canada. It was given

Hi guys: I'm not sure if this will help but I had similar problem with the tone arm assembly sliding. I also posted to this forum for help before I figured out the adjustment procedure for the photo resistor under the tone arm. This plate is attached to the rather large cylindrical collar on lower part the tone arm. On the 4002 at least the plate

Friends: Does anyone have a spare "mint" condition Beogram 4002 platter? The 4002 that I own was given to me disassembled with the aluminum pieces thrown in a bag. The edges of the platter sadly is scratched and dinged. I would be delighted to hear from you if you've got one. Thanks, Derek

I'd like to add here that Martin is right about the "swap and go" service mentality. The trend has been for some time and with the consequence of many technicians simply not being capable of troubleshooting on the board level. The better shops will decline to service, the less reputable ones will attempt a service and return your equipment
