Thanx Mika, I'm new to these kind of turntables. Have you some picture of the structure/internal of the 4000 family? Loris

...but I guess I read something about removing the control panel for shipping???

...well it happened that, waiting for a 4000, I bought a beogram 6000. Is there any particular thing I have to say to the sender of this turntable ( apart the usual reccomendetions). Is there anything about the control panel? Thanx

Peter, is it possible to restore a control panel of a 4002 like this? http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=330335419599

Thanx a lot Peter, you're always so kind with people doing questions Loris

some quick question: is a beogram 6000 a quadrafonic system only or can it be used as a stereo system? Can the cd4 demodulator be excluded? Is a riiaa included? Can the control pad be restored if worn? Thanx

5005 spindle. well I turnad 8/10 degrees the bearing spindle with a plier and now it's perfect. It doesn't move no more. a little bit of oil on the spindle and... voila'....I'm proud of myself Loris

...seems a Thorens with a B&O arm....

.... but at least this bearing seems a "real" bearing....
