Thanks. What kind of grease? Jacques

Hi, The title says it all. I got a white Beogram 4002 whose bearing has considerable play in it. What I don't understand is that there is no visible wear anywhere. Could it be that something is missing? It looks exactly like the picture shown on this post . There is no oil or grease inside. Any ideas? Jacques

Hi, Everybody, when you say these speakers sound very nice, what do you compare them with? I compared them to three other speakers and their sound is recessed, as if a curtain was laid in front of them (whatever amp or source I use). Why am I so disappointed as other members here are so happy with them?

Hi, Or you may have a shot IR diode, the one that allows to count turns at the carriage motor. To test it, use a digital camera and see if the (purple to blue) light it should produce is visible on the screen. Jacques

After a few hours listening, the placebo effect has vanished and my final conclusion is that the new caps didn't change the speakers' character: they are dull. Oh dear! Jacques

You shouldn't. They are the least of my concerns right now! Bass is okay, really. They still have their piston movement! Jacques

[quote user="Dillen"] Do you use stands when you listen to the speakers ? [/quote] Yes of course I do, as shown on the photos on page 1 here. Jacques

Hi, A few caps from Martin later... The sound from these speakers is now slightly better—it's not night and day—especially in the highs department. Mids don't shout as much now, and bass performance is the same. A bit more presence altogether. Imaging remains okay. Happy then? Almost. Still a bit veiled I think, or is it neutral

Wow, thanks Per. The tweeter filtering is much simplified, now a 6dB/octave one. A bit disappointing actually! Jacques

Hi, I will do this when I do the re-cap job just to see whether there are noticeable changes from s120's to MC120.2's. But then I will only have the value of the resistors and capacitors... As I am an electrician with electronic skills I can draw the diagram easily. I will publish photos anyway. I have nothing to measure the inductors reliably
