Great ! I'm afraid, I can't give you more hints without actually measuring about a bit. Give the technician a couple of minutes to look at the schematics and understand the circuitry and he will know where to measure and what results to expect. Martin

The potentiometers can be serviced in the Beomaster 3000 (and 3000-2 and derivate models) without touching the sliderule controls. Take them apart and clean it all well. Most important is the contact track that lies along the resistive track. This will have to be cleaned using a glass-hair brush. Rub until its shiny and all oxidation has gone. The resistive

Frank, Slow down, my friend ... Don't haste things. Look in the manual and find info there before assuming (wrong). Of course, there is at least one fuse, and the Beolab Penta's have two. One fuse is for the controlling electronics, the other is for the amplifiers. C4 is clearly bad, not a surprise with that type of capacitor, I'm afraid

Welcome to Beoworld ! I can supply the cap kit and it sounds like your Beogram is in need of this as a minimum, it usually fixes many faults - also some you never knew it had. It's in the 25 euros range with shipping. I wouldn't worry too much about the CPU cable or the warpage of the board. They have looked like this since they were made, unless

I've had a rush on tangential parts the last year or two so am almost exhausted for parts but since this is not a too common fault to see, I'm sure that someone else has a transformer lying around from a scrapped Beogram, anyone ? Martin

Once again, welcome to Beoworld ! Good job so far ! The sliders are best left undisturbed. The little tabs will break so better leave them unless you absolutely have to dismantle them. In case a tab breaks, you can glue the partts together but that will be the last resort and own't be easy to take apart again if the need should ever arise. The axial

Sometimes, the Beogram keeps playing even if lift is pressed, only the lamp lights up. This is very common to see, also in the Beogram 3000. It's a fault per construction and is not something a replacement "solenoid" will fix. The only solution is to lift the tonearm manually and set it down at the end of the record. It will then lift

If you have anything connected to the SCART, try unplugging this. Martin

At the bottom of the tower, accessed from below behind a little cover held by one screw if I rememeber correctly. Martin

Hi and welcome to Beoworld ! Nice job of the Beogram 1000. I like the fine speed adjustment knob, it could be original like that. The bearings inside the motor will need fresh oil. The bearings are made of bronze and the pores of the bronze are penetrated with oil. The bearings are submerged in oil under vacuum a couple of times. Hard part is often
