Right! Of course the tonearm should move if we're talking about that! When not lowered it should resist a little, or rub, because it sits in a V-shaped support. Once lowered though, it is perfectly free to move! I'd say 5 degrees or so, you can actually push it till it touches the sensor arm!

[quote user="filip_kbh"] Also I wonder if the tone arm should be completely fixed (not sliding from side to side), and how to fix that, if it shouldn't. [/quote] It should, actually! It is driven by a worm screw, unlike the Pioneer PL-L decks whose arms are free to move. What you shouldn't do is to force it to move by hand, oh no!

Hello, I have a Beogram 4002 and a 4000 none of them has a silent carriage motor when the arm moves fast ! The 4002 has a 'plastic' motor (in fact the casing) but not the 4000. Ditto my Beogram 8000, although it is quieter than those two. I thought filip was asking about that. Of course they can't be heard when playing a record!

[quote user="Søren Hammer"] You could also have a look at the, in my opinion, far superior Beogram 8000-series or 4000-series. The 8000's have full Datalink compatibility, they are exellent performers with full digital arm- and speed control. [/quote] I couldn't agree more! These are great decks. I the latest issue of Hi-Fi

Hello, I have 234 V at my sockets (normally 220 V). The 220 V setting had my Beogram 4002 hum badly, and it became completely silent under the 240 V setting!

Thank you Martin. Do I have to replace the white thermal compound? It is still very viscous, and there's a lot of it! I should receive the new chip tomorrow. Let's see if it does it. I examined everything again, and the PCB looks fine, but it is slightly twisted/bent on the right side. I have replaced the electrolytic—while the can is

[quote user="Dillen"] If the frequency readout is correct, I'm sure the prescaler is fine.[/quote] Martin, when I disconnect the prescaler (P84 on the μPC board), the display frequency readout is still correct , manual tuning or with the preselections. But then I don't get any radios at all (of course).

Oh dear! I was testing at the wrong connector... It must be my wife's cancer getting on me... Not even funny. Anyway, the tuning voltage is progressive until 97 MHZ then it goes straight up to 23 volts, but the display remains at 97. When I dial backwards it takes some time to unlock from 23V to get back to the lower frequencies. I can hear radio

Like you, Martin, Tim helped a number of times. He isn't to be found in any forum but he always nicely answers my emails! So I have Tim's advice. I'll try it anyway, since the chip is on its way—and your own analysis. I'll keep the two of you informed of course! What next?

[quote user="Dillen"] Maybe the processor is not correct for the board version. Martin [/quote] Ah, right. That's supposing some so-called tech fiddled with it then, and returned it non-functional! Can you tell the year of production with the serials? PC9 is tagged 3279021 and the Beomaster SN is 2275014. Have you read what Tim, the English
