Glad to hear things are doing well Jaques :) I just bought another 4002 for restoration and the misses has said one has to go now - Looks like my B&O is going to have to earn it's keep in my house :(

There is a motorised stand down the road from me but it is designed for an MX / MS - can I remove the MX base plate and attach the 'ordinary' stand base plate from my LX4500 onto it? They do look very similar! Thanks. Olly.

Love these ads. Something I always wanted to know - What does the A/S mean after B&O title?

I just looked it isn't there I wonder if B&O requested to pull the pics?

Like I said Jaques, it is worth asking Martin or other users if the 4000 bearing was used in the later range for a while, I am almost certain it will be! Anyway at the very least these models are a lot cheaper to purchase and hell of a lot simpler to service should things go wrong as a result!

Tom I think 8 hours is a bit on the unprecidented side if there was a problem things would heat up quite quickly. My 4000 also gets warm on the bottom left due to the transistor embedded into the chassis next to the motor! The man to see about your caps is Martin as he does a kit so give him a PM. Caps also available from the likes of CPC, Farnell etc

From 33 1/3 I get 35 seconds for my serviced 4002, 24 secs for unserviced 4004 and the winner is 1 minute 54 secs for the Beogram 4000! [quote user="chartz"] I meant belt off of course! The 8000 platter will turn 25% longer than the 4002! (45 sec. from 33rpm for the 8000) As a matter of comparison, my virtually new SL-1200 mkII will come to

I agree, very nice!

Have to say that is quite a nice looking set, and I am not normally interested in pre-70's sets! I can't believe it would drive your Pentas without distortion though! Keep up the good work :)
