I had the same problem with my BG4002. Picture shows what it looks like, I hope the 8002 is similar - my apologies if it isn't. I found advice saying that you should add some sewing machine oil inside the pneumatic air damper (to the right of the yellow solenoid), around the perimeter of the moving piston. Accessible from the back. Worked very nicely

New problems surfacing in my Beogram 4002... First the pickup arm motor, now this. All of a sudden, the pickup arm motor isn't fed any voltage whatsoever. When I press START, STOP or hold down < or > and measure the pins on the edge of PCB1 leading to the motor, zero Volts (actually 0.3V after pressing STOP). It used to be 5,5 and 12 Volts

Despite my best efforts, the old motor has seized up almost 100%. I can measure it getting say 9V, but it just wont budge. If I help it rotate, it can go on for a sec. or two. Chris has been very generous, and I'm looking forward to trying the motor he is sending me. Hopefully, I can find spare parts here in Sweden that he might have som use for

Chris, Santa Claus is for real and lives in Yorkshire...

The pickup arm sledge and the arm itself moves freely. No noise at all when I turn the spindle by hand. And the motor makes a lot of grating noise when it fast-forwards the

I'd be very interested! It's the only thing wrong with this beauty (apart from a crack in the lid at one of the hinges - my next repair project!). And it looks so good next to my old Beocord 5000! Maybe someone can verify that it will actually work? It's a Beogram 4002 Type 5511. /Folke PS. The two rear screws aren't missing, I was just

Hi there, Chris! My motor is about 23 mm across and 32 mm long, the axle adding another 8 mm. Maybe yours will fit? I could install a corresponding plug on the PCB (would be very convenient!). Where are you situated? /EDIT. Yorkshire! /Folke

Hello, Martin! Yes, I did... Is this an uncommon problem? I think I have seen it mentioned in the forums.

Hello, fellow B&O aficionados! And greetings from Stockholm, Sweden! First post by a longtime lurker. I have just added a beautiful Beogram 4002 (Type 5511) to my small B&O collection. It works just fine after som CLA, thanks to the generous advice offered on this forum. The pickup is an MMC 5000. The only problem is audible rumble noise (both
