[quote user="Søren Mexico"] Try "what a fool believes" again [/quote] Of course I was kidding. I had the M70s out in the garage giving them their final finish. I used Minwax Paste Finishing Wax. I was using the CX50s temporarily while I was checking LP holes. (But that's another story for another thread.)

[quote user="burantek"] First reaction would be to install a fresher belt -but I think that would be a mistake. More tension would likely have lead to damage to the needle, the record, or the motor. The "stall" may have saved everything??? [/quote] It's an interesting question. The deck has performed flawlessly since. I've

Tonight I got out the four pairs of Beovoxes I've refurbished in the last year and listened to each on the BM 4000 from JaffBay. So, faceoff among: Beovox M70: new capacitors and resistors in crossover, complete rewiring, new damping material, new gasket for back, new fret cloth, custom stands Beovox S45-2: new capacitors in crossover, complete

The Google Fu - generally concentrating on Thorens tables that have "spindles too large" - said the solution was just to turn a wooden pencil in the hole. Soren's solution of the hole reamer had me thinking of a larger version of a hobby file I own (back in my Warhammer toy soldier days). Sure enough, this Nicholson part number 21853 8

I used my Google Fu today and learned this "spindle too large/LP hole too small" problem isn't necessarily rare. Never had a problem with any previous turntable, but so far have found two LPs in my collection won't fit the BG 4002. The DIN spec is 7.24 mm -0/+0.09 mm. The RIAA spec is 0.286" +0.001"/-0.002". So, DIN

Do what I did - put them in the dining room! Seriously, though, if you end up shipping them, Dillen/Martin strongly suggests performing preventive maintenance on the phase link. See my M70 thread under Vintage Products. Are you anywhere near the La Crosse to Prairie due Chien corridor? I drive that once a month when I visit a plant in Marquette, Iowa

I've removed two from my BC4500 and could donate the extras.[/quote] Yes Rich, its the same ones, but I would tape them to the cord, you will never know when you need them, without them remote control wil not work

[quote user="Søren Mexico"] [quote user="ablaumeise"]By the way, this is another 4004 with the two extra pins in the plug missing. Quite a shame, since it's used alongside a 2400. When can we expect a reproduction? Anyone?[/quote] I have a pair of pins here, will look into posibility of making copies next time I'm
