Hi Kev, There are copper arms on the carriage itself that engage switches at the end of play. These arms are adjustable. I am guessing that the arms are out of adjustment thus not making contact with the switches. I hope I got this right as one should never answer a technical question at 6:00 AM, like I am doing now…. but today is promising to

Hi Kev, My initial problem with the skating was due to a maladjustment in the plate that comes off the front of the diaphragm and the photo resistor. By adjusting both the screws that hold the photo resistor in place, it can be slid back and forth until it is positioned so that by rotating the turntable, the servo motor only just starts to turn after

Hi Kev, I haven't had to go into that area, so I really don't have the answer. However, I am certain that someone more knowledgeable that I will be able to help you here. The more you work on your Beogram 4000 the more you are bound to appreciate the sheer quality that went into making these turntables. It is a lot like working on British motorcars

Hi Kev, Here is the link to the Beogram 4000 on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Beogram-4000-TOP-B-O-Bang-Olufsen-4002-Turntable_W0QQitemZ250185154622QQihZ015QQcategoryZ48649QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I attempted to answer your question regarding removing the control panel on another thread. The problem is I am just an amateur who has been forced

Hi Kevin, I am probably not the one who should be answering your question as there are more qualified people on this site. However, when I say control panel, I am referring to the machined aluminum plate that engages the Beogram 4000 into operation. Mine is fairly loose so lifting it up is not real accomplishment. It is held in place by clips. What

Hi Kevin, Thank you for this information and the offer of a spare metal strip from a Beogram 4002. The handsome Beogram 4000 currently on eBay looks as if it “might” have a vinyl appliqué strip which would not be nearly as nice as an aluminum strip… like the 4002/4004. I am hoping to find a suitable complete dustcover to replace

Frede, I am most pleased at the prospect of locating a few needed parts to bring my Beogram 4000 back to the condition that I would like it to be in. I do have a question, is the aluminum trim piece atop the hinge a vinyl appliqué or an aluminum piece as found on the 4002/4004 series? It doesn’t matter to me as if I can find a fairly decent

My Beogram 4000 was so badly damaged during international shipment that it has taken a very, very long time to get it to where the 4000 is an actual functioning turntable. This now accomplished, with the 4000 dependably playing records, there are still a few loose ends I would like to tie up. There is a handsome 4000 up for sale currently on eBay, from

Thanks Peter, as always. I seldom run the Beomaster 2400 for any great length of time, normally 20 minutes at a time, so over-heating should not be a big issue. I will be mindful of this in any case. Clipping also has not been a problem as I suppose I have erred on the side of caution before any distortion would occur. Although I dared to play this

For reasons exceeding this conversation (my 500 watt McIntosh 2255 at McIntosh Laboratories for repair) I was powering three sets of inefficient speakers (at the same time) with the Beomaster 2400 and it was performing at nearly 75% of the big amp’s volume. It appeared to be more than happy in this roll. When the decision was made to ship the
