but even if quite rare, these records do come up for sale occasionally and shouldn't be too hard to find. Martin

but of course it should be from the original source, the 7 inch single. I suppose copying it for public downloading would be a violation of copyrights ...

I have this record in my collection. Both sides of this stereo introduction record would be appropriate for playing on 60's B&O stereo's. Martin

The price Peter mentions is not that drastic, I think. Worth a try anyways and based on what you describe, it would also be the first thing I'd replace. Martin

Thanks Chris, but the huge amounts of positive feedback I get from buyers able to restore Beogram's that would otherwise be impossible to rescue makes it all worthwhile. I'm sure you know the feeling yourself from your excellent solution to the Beogram CD X broken left side hinge repair. Martin

A digital fault is not very likely but of course it can happen. More likely a faulty DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter). Try putting a 100uF and a 100nF parallel across the power supply to the DAC, physically close to it. Martin

Yes, the transformer is a plug-in module. You need to get a 220-240V transformer module to replace the 110-120V one you have. The transformer pushes up from under the Beogram when the aluminum lid is open and the mains lead is gently guided out from the corner of the aluminum lid hinge. The Beogram 6006, 8000 and 8002 transformers are the same. Martin

Hi Jeff, I don't have a BG4000 at hand so I cannot check this, maybe another Beoworld'er can ? Martin

Normally, it would. The switch is a break-type. It's normally closed (switched on) to bypass a resistor. When the solenoid arm activates it, it breaks it's connection (switches off). Soldering off one of its leads will force all current through the resistor and thereby lower the current at all times. The voltage readings I also suggested will

The other switches are controlling other things (starts the tracking system and unmutes the signal). The switch of our interest is the one on the green circle. Did you try soldering off one of the switch's leads ? Martin
