Det er en optisk gaffel, altså en lysgiver som lyser på en lysføler hvor lysstrålen (IR) afbrydes af faner på et hjul, monteret på akselen som roterer og bringer slæden frem og tilbage. Processoren i Beogram'en tæller impulser fra opto'en og beregner således hvor slæden er, hvor pickup'en

Yes, the voltage setting is done on the primary side. You will have to move the red'ish brown lead and establish the connections shown in the diagram. The secondary side is fine and should not be touched. Martin

Exactly. Could you please provide a photo of the primary side ? Martin

Well done so far. Those plastic holders forms part of a large plastic structure, cast in place into the metal subchassis. You cannot replace one holder (and not the whole plastic structure either for that matter) so the only chance of a repair is cleaning and glueing. To keep things strong, the glueing should preferably not be at the holders arms (I

Aren't the voltage setting done on the transformer primary ? I don't remember if it is, but if it's done on the secondary as you show, what you suggest looks right. Martin
